Take time to smell the roses.
We run behind objects of desires all our life. A better job, an awesome relationship, a new car, the foreign tour, and so on. What about the life that we already have?
This is what I realized this morning. Lately, I have been obsessed with things that my life lacks at the moment – but what about the things that I have achieved? What’s the point of acquiring more and more posessions if I can’t take a moment to appreciate and enjoy what I already have? Will the fulfillment of my current desires guarantee the ever-eluding peace of mind and satisfaction that I crave, or will new desires take up the place?
Today morning, for a moment, I let go of all my desires and let myself just be. My mind was not ready to give up the gazillion thoughts it had about my current desires, but I told it to let go only for one moment, and we will come back to it soon. And it was a beautiful feeling. I instantly felt happier and at peace. I actually started smiling – for no reason!
Any desire achieved with this state of mind has to have good results because you do it from an abundance mindset, not based in fear.
Nugget of wisdom: Achieve a goal because your are happy, don’t be happy because you achieved the goal.
