Take some time to live and breath. Lean back and relax, watch what’s going on and take some time out. Life isn’t about achieving hundreds of things – it isn’t even about achieving anything, it’s about living and enjoying the feeling of being alive.
Many people have the “bad” habit to chase one achievement after the other. The sad truth is, that most of them don’t really achieve anything worthwhile. All they get is a life filled with worry, stress, anger. You might become a billionaire, a celebrity, a world champion… but if you don’t achieve happiness for yourself and for others, you don’t really achieve anything.
If at the end of your life you can honestly say that most of the time you felt happy, you are a winner in this game called life – no matter what others might think of you. If you can’t say that, you are a looser in this game, no matter how much others respect you, no matter how much money you made, no matter how famous you might have been¦ It’s really that simply, the only thing that really counts in this life is how much time you spend in bliss and happiness.
When you are happy, it’s also easy to make others happy and to inspire them. When you are miserable, it’s equally easy to make others miserable.
Whatever you want to achieve, be aware that it’s the path towards your achievement that counts most and not the end result. The path is long, the end result is only a short moment of excitement. So, enjoy the path, otherwise you will never be able to enjoy your life – and that’s really all that counts, nothing is more important. If there is no joy and fun in your life, then you aren’t really living.
Slow down and stop chasing false dreams. Stop missing all the magnificent things in your life. In order to to hear that little voice within you that guides you towards abundance, happiness and fulfillment, you have to stop rushing and racing. Be still and listen, watch and take your time. Enjoy the happiness that bubbles up from within when you let go and become silent.
You might think that you have to do A, B and C… before you can take some time off for yourself and start enjoying your life. Unfortunately, for most people this time never comes. When you are finished with A, B and C – D, E and F will already be on your mind and this crazy circle continues until the end of your life.What is so important that it absolutely has to be done right now, all day long, all your life…?
Will it give you happiness? Are you sure? If not, take it a bit less serious and spend some time with your self: simply observe, watch, listen, do nothing, let go, allow things to work out themselves…
What does really count? Again, The amount of time you dwell in happiness. Happiness can’t be found in chasing, achieving, racing and rushing.
You think you will be happy, once you get that house? Think again! You think you will be happy, once you get that promotion? Think again! You think you will be happy, once you acquire that title? Think again!… There will be some excitement and maybe even some happiness, but it won’t last much longer than a few short moments, before you start chasing the next illusion.
Happiness is simple – it’s your natural state – and it is found in simple things – watching, being, letting go, letting happen, doing nothing, silence…
Don’t misunderstand me, there is nothing wrong with achieving and chasing your (sometimes false) dreams. However, make sure to take some time off (from your chase) every now and then to recharge your batteries, to regain your center and to change directions if necessary.
