Yep
Seriously. There's been a story that has been running your entire life and you may not even know it. Or, you may know it but have absolutely no idea how to get out of it.
Don't worry. It's not your fault.
This lie is incredibly powerful and no one has been left out of its grasp.
Knowing this lie and what it does to your life can literally change your world.
Not joking. How do I know? It changed mine.
Here it is - there's this place that you will reach where everything "turns out."
Let me explain.
Take a second to imagine that you are in a boat constantly rowing towards this island where your happiness lives. You can see your ideal life: the car, the partner, the house, the job etc. When you think of this place you believe that you will be happy.
Unfortunately, this place doesn't exist.
This place is an absolute mirage.
It's the sexiest mirage you've ever seen and it will keep you rowing and rowing and rowing until your arms fall off because you think that's where your happiness lives.
But it gets worse. It's not just about rowing your boat to an imaginary place that's bad, it's about what this mentality brings out in you. Living this way makes you strive on a timeline to achieve something and makes you incredibly narrow minded. Everything is about progress. Everything must go "according to plan."
It will bring out anxiety, fear, doubt, worry, and pretty much every other negative emotion in the book because you aren't slowing down at all and constantly seeking a place you will never get to.
THIS CAN BE INCREDIBLY EXHAUSTING.
However, most people never get the chance to really consider that this is the way that they are living their life and exit this habit. They just continue on rowing and never quite make it to where they wanted to go.
What do you think mid-life crisis is all about?
So what is the shift that needs to take place?
Be amoebic. Huh? Yes...just like an amoeba. Let me explain.
When you start viewing your life as an ever-changing, shifting, and morphing entity you end up focusing more on growth. You see life as very colorful, an opportunity for learning, experiences, change and development.
It gets even better.
When you live this way, the best is brought out in you. You are able to focus on what's really developing in you and how you can grow and change. You connect more with the present. You show up as who you really are. You connect more with others.
Start living in the present. You can spend your entire life rowing to this place you will never get to or you can connect with what is right in front of you.
If you can grasp this concept, and really slow down a bit to understand just how much you've been rowing in your boat, you will see incredible changes in your life. You will connect with people more, connect with yourself, become more grounded, allow happiness to find you in the moment, and a slew of other fantastic things.
Living in this world, everything is possible.
So pull your oars out of the water and ask yourself right now, "What's actually here? What's really going on in my life? What do I have to be grateful for?
Quit rowing.
