WHAT IF THE PEAK IS WHERE YOU ARE?

Maybe, who knows, the right place to be is exactly where you are right now?

We spend most of our time thinking about the best way to achieve a certain goal: a house, a car, a family, friends, among other objects of desire. However, we dedicate almost no time to being grateful for what we have and helping others, strengthening our spiritual ties.

We are dominated by this attitude because we are caught in an evil time loop (of our own creation) that nothing is ever as it should be and there is always something to be improved. It is as if life were our eternal enemy, not allowing ourselves to breathe even for a few minutes or to take shelter under the simple shade of a tree, overloading us with task after task until we are overcome by a physical and mental breakdown.

In fact, things can be improved. The problem happens when we become dependent on always improving or working on something, never enjoying what we already have: our house, our car, our friends, family, health, small hobbies, etc. We always live in the future, projecting better situations, and never in the present, enjoying the life we ​​have.

There is beauty, wisdom and abundance in our small, simple lives if we know where to look. It is not necessary to become a pop star or someone famous to live better. Blessings in other people’s lives could be problems in ours. Fame brings with it a lack of privacy. Abundant money generates the irrational fear of losing it. Having many friends does not mean that they are all real friends. As the old saying goes: “What glitters is not always gold.”

And we are able to break out of the projection cycle, which robs us of precious life time. We continue to postpone, in the eternal illusory search for a perfect life. But there is no perfect life. In fact, nothing is perfect. All is subject to decay. It’s like aiming for the horizon. But the horizon never arrives, and we are forced to live in eternal expectation of a mirage.

There is nothing more frustrating than living in eternal waiting, for love, a job, or anything else that will provide us with “eternal happiness”. There are cycles within cycles, plans within plans. Best to put an end to the endless art of long-term planning and be content with what is already in our hands. Who knows, maybe we are already happy and don’t know it?
