How to Be Ready for Something New in Life
Why worry about that if you can't appreciate what you have right now?
And I don't mean a “yeah, yeah, I am appreciative” attitude.
I mean heart-moving, tear-jerking appreciation for exactly as your life is right now.
If you don't have the skill to move yourself right now...
If you lack the skill to go deep with yourself...
Then once you get the new thing, it will quickly lose its novelty, and the chase goes on.
What You're Really Looking For
You want to really be ready for something new?
Train yourself to see the beauty and order and grace right now.
In exactly who you are and what you have.
Draw yourself into a state of awe for the life you've built.
Invite yourself into a state of reverence for the people in your life.
Because once you do, you will see NOTHING IS MISSING.
And the “newness” that you were getting pulled toward is right under your nose.
That newness is both how you experience what you CURRENTLY have...
AND that newness is the capacity to see how you've underutilized what you have.
In the quest for something outside of yourself and your existing life.
Get Excited About What You Already Have
Get excited right now.
Get pumped for your connections.
Get jazzed for the resources you currently possess.
Build anticipation for maximizing what you previously took for granted.
Do this, and your life will become unstuck.
Cheers to your progress.
