We want a job to seek stability, and then we want to leave that job to seek freedom.
We pursue relationships to seek companionships, and then we want to leave those relationships behind because we feel like we lost ourselves.
We follow a passion to seek fulfilment, and then we want to abandon that passion to catch up with all the achievements we had stopped pursuing.
It’s not them. It’s not the job, the relationships, the passion.
It’s us.
Nobody is going to knock at your door and choose you.
Not because you are unworthy, simply because we are all busy, we are all self-absorbed, we are all overwhelmed.
Everything that is good starts with you. It will have to start with you.
When someone shares a thing they heard or saw, it’s not only that thing they are sharing. They are also sharing some of their expectations, emotions, opinions.
Keep that mind as you aim to getting to the bottom of it.
Habits are broken all the time, and when that happens, you need to allow yourself to go back a few steps.
Progress is very rarely linear, and thinking that it is, might actually keep us from starting again a healthy habit we have just failed at for a while.
If you were used to run 10km a week and you have not done that for a month, would it make it easier to start again with 2km this week?
If you are used to meditate for 20 minutes a day and you have not done that for a month, would it make it easier to start again with 5 minutes today?
If you are used to write 10,000 words a week and you have not done that for a month, would it make it easier to start again with 5,000 this week?
We are not machines and we need to be able to cut ourselves some slack once in a while.
How many of the things we call our flaws, of the traits we don’t like about us, of the behaviors we want to hide, are such because we are in the wrong situation?
Are we really afraid of speaking in front of an audience, or is it because we have always spoken in front of the wrong audience?
Should we call ourselves temperamental, or is it because nobody has ever took a minute to explain what was happening?
Do we really reject close relationships, or is it because the people we have been close to have hurt us deeply?
Are you wrong, or is the situation wrong?
Should you change yourself, or should you change the people you are with, the things you are doing, the place you call home?
Always work on yourself.
And figuring out what is wrong is part of the process.
