If You Are Torn In Opposite Directions, This Is For You
Take a moment to take a breath to take a pause. A lot of drafts and unfinished business are sitting around your folders, I know. But you didn’t look at them first thing in the morning. Not today. You also hid your Facebook notifications and all the other tabs in your browser.
There’s something more important right now.
You need to sit and talk to yourself before you talk to anyone else. Let’s be honest: you’re struggling even though you know you don’t have to. You know that you have a roof above your head, food to eat and at least a few people to laugh with. And that’s unlikely to change — unless you really wanted to get rid of it.
But you don’t want to. You are enjoying your life. Maybe sometimes you forget to appreciate it as much as you could. But once you do, everything you are trying to accomplish can be taken easy. You are already alive and striving. That means you are thriving — otherwise, the strive for success wouldn’t be so high on your priority list.
There is no good reason you shouldn’t relax and observe your efforts from a different plane. There is only so much you can do in a day. But even if you only do so much and stay patient, you will see the transformation coming about.
