REALITY bending…The soft way
“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”
So today I came to the realization again that your reality is just that…your reality. I was sitting at the waterfront today and two people sat next to me and started talking about a huge deal they were closing on. They mentioned it so casually and it made me stop and think about life. People are living completely different lives. Lives that are so different than what you’ve always known. It’s so interesting to me that what you’ve grown up seeing around you is only a portion of what life could be like. There are so many possibilities. In this reality I may be figuring things out but what if i’m just one decision away from the life I’ve always dreamed of? I’ve seen people quantum leap the moment they decided to bet on themselves and I want to make it happen for me too. I no longer want to dream about it.
I’ve spent the past year and a half doing everything I can to create the life I dream about. I’ve been working so hard and you know what? Not much has changed on the outside. I just can’t help but wonder if it was meant to happen much more easily. I read a post somewhere about changing yourself instead of trying to change your reality. Today, I feel like that post made a lot more sense to me. If working hard and doing all the things that I feel I need to do hasn’t created much of any momentum, then maybe it's my energy and the way I’m thinking that’s actually holding me back. So I am going to do a little experiment. Starting today, I will course correct the soft way. No more hard work to change my reality. This time, I’ll try a softer approach and change how I feel about myself and my current circumstances first. I am choosing to assume that things will fall in place once I lock in mentally and spiritually.
I’m feeling like maybe there is something special here in this season of my life that I haven’t yet allowed myself to enjoy. Instead of “Doing” to receive instant gratification, why not just “Be” and enjoy the process? Here’s to letting go of the ideas of what success should look like and choosing to create my own version here in the now.
