We have this habit of „outsourcing” the delivery of our positive feelings.
Every human being wants to be happy, balanced, wants to feel safe and be at peace.
Every human being has the desire for love and to feel appreciated.
And majority of people outsource the delivery of those positive feelings to subcontractors.
The most popular company on this field is the Future.
Since so many people use Future for this purpose, it makes sense for us to follow their lead. (Eat shit! Millions of flies cannot go wrong, right?!)
“I’ll be happy, when I’ll find my soulmate.”
“I’ll feel balanced, when things will get more tranquil at work.”
“I’ll feel safe, when I’ll have x millions in my bank account.”
“I’ll feel at peace, when I’ll have my circumstances aligned.”
“When my loved ones will start to love me properly, I will feel worthy of love.”
“When I’ll earn more money, or I’ll get regular back-pats from my colleagues, finally I’ll feel appreciated.”
I’d be able to continue this list for eternity.
The only issue with Future, that it never delivers what it promised.
And we wrestle through our life, clenching our teeth, so finally we can get to that Future, where we hope we can finally feel good.
In the meantime, we are so busy with rushing to get to that imaginary finish line, that we miss entirely, when the very thing we were so eager to experience is right in front of us.
Life happens NOW.
Our access to all beautiful feelings is always and only in the PRESENT MOMENT.
Wouldn’t it be time to fire that untrustworthy subcontractor and start LIVING then?!
