You Can Never Enjoy the Moment Because You’re Thinking About the End
Obsessing about the outcome is our attempt to control and ease anticipated pain.
We fear being happy. What we fear even more is having our happiness taken away.
We live in constant terror of what if, never allowing ourselves to immerse in what is.
We’ve heard the answer to ‘living in the present’ is letting go of attachment, but that sounds like a mystical far-off task. It’s a little easier to let go of our attachment to material possessions, but it’s harder to let go of attachment to people.
Impactful people become part of our energetic makeup. They circulate through our bodies and cycle through our hearts and mind until we let them go. They conflict with, and compliment parts of ourselves. That’s why it feels so gut-wrenching when they’re gone. We feel like a part of us is missing.
Instead of trying vehemently to “live in the present” and “let go", have the mindset that,
- You’re resilient enough to withstand whatever happens to you in the end.
- You’re equipped enough to soothe yourself through the circumstances.
- And you’re resourceful enough to get more. So live your life.
