Path of least resistance

I had to learn recently that it is when we surrender struggling, that our best options open up. I've been beating a drum of constant struggle and worry, because that is what I have been trained to believe for such a very long time. So I decided to "give up" so to speak. I stopped trying so hard to become anything. I stopped trying to reach for these monumental goals when I realized I had to ask myself a simple question.

The question I asked myself was "does any of this actually matter if I die?" Right there, so much clarity came open to me in the blink of an eye. All of those "things" I wanted to own do not truly matter if I am not here. All of those places I wanted to see, would still be there regardless of my lifetime. And all I truly really want in this life of mine, is simply to feel good. Desire isn't a bad thing at all, let me clear that up.

Desire is actually normal to have, but in a consumer based society filled with marketing and social media, we get caught up in unwanted details. You don't want to live in your home town because it bores you. You go to college, or join the military and leave your hometown. You experience new things, places, and people, but you are still the you that came from your hometown. You are trying so hard to use the outside as an excuse to control what you want to feel on the inside. That is really what it all comes down to.

Most people are trained to think of their lives as some sort of set of goals. The journey itself is the actual experience we are having. What we experience each day being driven on this force known as vibration and what we are attracting to ourselves. What I am saying in this blur of philosophical drivel, is that you are the magic of your life. You are the center of your experiences. You are the common factor of everything you have been through. What you are focusing on is completely and utterly determined by you.

Don't like how your life is going? Stop repeating the same pattern of thought. It is up to you to change, before your life  itself does. Stop waiting for the hero to come save you, be the hero of your story.
