Is Your Life Good Enough?

There is unforeseen dangers In 'Going with the flow' of life

Is your life ‘good enough’, and ‘OK’ the way it is? Would wanting it to be anymore than it is seem selfish and ungrateful to you. I hear a lot of people say ‘can’t complain’, and not because they don’t want to, but they are at least savvy to the effect of complaining. Is it good enough that you wouldn’t want to change anything if you could, or knew how? Because the hard truth is that ‘good enough’ can be far more dangerous and unconsciously sabotaging than we realise when we utter those words. To not want anything is to forgo the single greatest gift we’ve been granted, in having a mind and consciousness. Because it is the mind that changes the world as it is to us and what we can change it into. It is in the wanting that we are altering the programming running in the background of our lives to notice things that weren’t even there prior to the wanting. It is our desire that notices, and brings to life what was there but not visible prior to the wanting. We cannot see what we are not looking for.

We never notice what we give up in a ‘good enough’ life, and we can become increasingly more tolerant of the mild pain we might feel – the mild dissatisfaction we dismiss when our lives are less than desirable, but we don’t imagine we have any power to change them. And even more disturbing is the fact that we wake up one day 25 years later and wonder how we arrived to the lives that were seemingly our series of choices. When the truth is we didn’t do the choosing – an involuntary part of our own minds – our subconscious mind was re-playing a repetitive pattern that we were bystanders to but never realised it.

We can do anything if we know the reason. If something matters to us enough it is as good as done. Most people’s problem is they remain unclear on what matters to them, or things don’t seem bad enough to want to change them. We are creatures of reason - all we really need to know is ‘why’ we should do something. Whatever that thing may be, is it important enough to move us to action? And is it something that I can actually do is of course equally as important. If we don’t think we can do it, we’ll not make any effort at all. But the reason many people don’t attempt things is both a lack of personal importance, and a failure to implement and understand what can be accomplished in small chunks of time. That it is the systems of our everyday actions that delivers us to our results. Things that are difficult take time, but offer us the greatest reward. Our dreams come true by our persistent daily actions performed over many years. Or as they say, ‘we make our habits, and then our habits make us.’

If it means enough to us to change something, we will go at it with all our soul, and never stop. But if an outcome is less than compelling, ‘life’ (or the subconscious programme.) has a habit of ‘getting in the way’. A life that is lived with a strong sense of reason stands in direct contrast to one without meaning or purpose. We will forever be the passenger to our lives if we don’t want change and have a strong sense of why. We might never feel like we have any control over what is happening – we forgo the power to bend circumstances to our will, or see that there is some reason for everything that happens. When we lack that sense of purpose it can seem that everything is unwanted and nothing is part of our plan – but when we have intention, we know the opposite is true. We can change anything in our life that we are willing to take responsibility for. And if we are clear about our reasons and why things matter to us as they do, we can bend the world or reality to our will.

It seems a crying shame that so few of us realise how easily we give up the power to alter what is happening in our lives. By that simple act of not choosing, or having a strong intention, we unknowingly hand what is happening in our life to an involuntary program. We let go of the wheel and we don’t even know it, or how easily we could grab it back. We suffer needlessly because we have no idea how easily this could be changed by the simple act of implementing periodic intervals of self-reflection.

If we have a compelling reason, then all that stands between us and living in the real-time outcome is time. And even the time it takes can become dramatically shortened by both the strength of our desire, and a few little energy or mindset hacks we’ll discuss later. If we keep this thing at the forefront of our minds the time it takes to get there becomes irrelevant. That’s what purpose means – that our ‘position’ never matters as much as our direction. How much do we want this thing? How much does it matter, and how will our life look when it is done? Theses are the energy chunks that keep us going. What will it mean to our lives, and those we share our lives with when this comes to fruition? What will this allow us to do and why would that be good, are all far more crucial to keep in mind. When we hit the lulls, and those inevitable obstacles, it is these reasons that hoist our sails regardless.

It is really disturbing to me that most people have no idea of the priceless and empowering ability self-reflection offers us. Very few of us ever give a thought to what they want, and their life happens seemingly without them being a participant in it. Most never ponder what’s most important to them, until they get sick or wounded and have no option but to sit and think about where they are going in their lives. When the truth is that’s all it really takes to arrive somewhere that feels like it was our choice, and holds some meaning for us. Most don’t ask themselves those simple questions. What do I want? And why would this be good? We don’t do it, but that’s all it takes to take some control over what’s happening in our lives. Because whatever it is that is happening is always seen through the filter of that agenda. Does this matter, is it of interest – is it taking me closer to my goal or further away? How can I turn this to my advantage, or learn something valuable from what happened. Do we see the profound difference between having meaning in our lives, and lots of what happens seeming displeasing, and out of our control.

And why don’t we do it? Because the hardest thing for anyone to ever admit is that they aren’t happy with where they are at the moment. So we flee from the self-reflection, and avoid staring into the mirror. What must always precede any form of significant change, and moving in a new and more meaningful direction for us, is a deep sense of dissatisfaction with our lives. And honestly that is far more bearable than the drawn-out torture of a distracted and meaningless life. People don’t change because they cannot stand on the threshold of that first step – “I’m dreadfully unhappy with how things are, and what I’m doing with my life”.

Nothing in this world can offer us what a deeper sense of meaning and contribution can. Money can’t, recognition can’t, and even our sense of connection to other people can’t replace or compete with what purpose offers us. That we feel like we are here for a reason – that people’s lives are better because of something we did. Purpose fills us up and ignites us. Living with that unmistakable sense that I helped someone do something. Nothing can replace this feeling, and nothing can come close. Not the new car, or relationship, or thing we bought. But I will be careful not to add here an elevated work role. Because climbing the ladder isn’t just about egos and showcasing ourselves and a sense of power. It is rarely that at all, as people in managerial positions will attest. Purpose is the often-disguised benefit of an increased level of responsibility. We are able to do more for people and the companies we work for. We are tasked with both getting the most out of the staff we have to work with, and increasing productivity. We find ourselves more of use in these elevated roles, and that feels far better than any authority that accompanies the role.

But the point is, we have to be fed up with where we are to create any form of meaningful change in our lives. And most people are never willing to go there – their lives are good enough, and they don’t see the invisible danger in that. They usually disguise a good enough life as gratitude.

And I’m certainly not under-emphasizing the importance of gratitude. Thank you are two words just as magical as Abracadabra. (which actually translates to ‘I create as I speak.) Thank you is how we ensure that we will see more of the things we appreciate in our lives. But here I am just trying to bring awareness to the unforeseen dangers in not integrating self-reflection, and not continually upgrading what we desire, offer and expect of ourselves. A life devoid of meaning, where we have no investment in the outcomes we participate in, is a life we won’t get any real pleasure out of. And so many people are unconsciously stuck in our currently dopamine addicted society, with absolutely no awareness of how our lives are being cheapened. These short hits of dopamine can’t offer us the pleasure we can derive from purpose and meaning – they are in my opinion unconsciously drawing us away from contented and satisfied lives, and we don’t even know it.

It would seem that we have been hoodwinked by social media and the hits our devices offer us that are so short-lived that it has fueled an addiction that demands our attention, but offers us nothing of meaning in return. These dopamine devices that have come to dominate our lives are merely a mask to the pain of a meaningless life. Scary to watch an apparently intelligent species being sucked down a whirlpool of empty promises that unknowingly prompts so much of what we think, read, feel and believe. And if you think you can’t be swayed by the subconscious effect of how your feed is being manipulated to sway and further addict you, then you’re in an even greater danger than those who know.

The only true feeling of pleasure we can extract from this life is that which we get from offering something of ourselves to improve the lives of others. We are deeply social beings who have a heart beating in the centre of our chest that longs to help people. That is not to say we have to all be leaders of the world, but it is to say that whatever it is that we offer people that is over and above what we are trained for in our role is the true essence of us. No matter what job we perform, our joy comes from listening, understanding, and making peoples day. And this is not the same as being kind, and or, getting walked all over. To the contrary this is an extreme sense of sticking up for ourselves. Empathy is not the same as harmless. Empathy is how we read and know what every situation needs – how we connect with other human beings – and how we obtain a better understanding of both ourselves and the nature of our fellow human beings. If you were to offer people the choice between getting people’s attention, or having their intentions understood, I’m sure most would choose the latter. All we ever really want is to be understood.

But I have digressed… For any change to happen we have to be fed-up with where we are. We have to have a strong desire for change. We will not move a hair on our head if things are ‘OK’.

In order to sustain a new way of thinking and feeling it takes us to be a little more present in our minds. It requires us to be a little more focused, committed, and certain of who we want to be and why we want change. Most people – even the ones that say they want change, and are very specific of how that change looks, often become engaged in an inner quarrel that leads them to pushing with high intensity, but then easing off so much that they slide backwards. They put an astounding amount of effort in and then - nothing. And as is often the case with this type of approach that when all of the ‘trying’ fails to yield results, they become distracted, and lose momentum. Or we become so exhausted from our efforts that we drop our guard and get high-jacked into self-harming patterns that we think offer us some relief from the pressure we’ve put ourselves under. We start back-sliding past all of the effort we’d just been putting in.

We have been trying so hard that we temporarily forget our ‘Why’ and what it means to us – we let off a bit of ‘steam’ and wake up hungover and struggle to regain the sense of focus and clarity we had at the start of our journey. It seems like we claw our way out of the pit we are in – but then when we aren’t watching - aren’t vigilant and present in our minds we slide, and try to convince ourselves that it doesn’t matter that much. We undo lots of the work we’d been putting so much effort into, and then have to start from the bottom again, climbing with an even heavier monkey on our back, because of how we’ve let ourselves down. If we don’t forgive ourselves in that moment, and hold the mindset and energy of the person we want to become, we doom ourselves to repeating the same behaviours.

We have to be obsessed with who we want to become because it means something to us, or we will coast on the exact same energy of yesterday. And while coasting may sound like a nice, pleasant trip downstream with the flow of life, we don’t have any oars. Coasting refers to our default, or conditioned settings that steer our life when we are not at the wheel. It is where we generally live the majority of our lives – trusting in the program to deliver us from evil and avoid harm. But we really have no idea where this default is taking us if we are not actively and intentionally nominating the type of things that define a meaningful life for us – if we are not journaling our thoughts and religiously engaging in reflection and focusing on the direction we are moving in.

And this is not to suggest that we are born with a slack or evil intent. We are designed to ‘pick the low hanging fruit’. Meaning to notice patterns in our environment that offer us some good returns without having to think about it, or put too much effort in. We would genuinely be under-equipped to survive if we didn’t have this programming thing keeping an eye out for some easy returns from small efforts. But if we don’t understand that our lives are run by programs, it is highly unlikely that we’ll be able to, or looking to, improve them. It is a completely natural function of the mind to conserve energy. Thinking burns a lot of energy and our body/mind is designed for efficiency. No one wants to work harder than they need to.

The higher mind overrides the decision-making mind to ensure we work smarter and not harder than we need. If we can receive 80% of our results from 20% of our efforts, there would seem little point in using 70% of our possible energy output if it is only going to take our outcomes to a 90% yield. We are designed to limit our mental energy expenditure by trusting in those default settings that has brought us thus far through our lives. We’re not lazy, we just have a supercomputer upstairs that is hard wired to recognise patterns in our environment that are linked to pleasurable outcomes. We are designed to notice elements in our world that will give us the best bang for our buck. The danger being we keep getting lured and overruled by those quick cheap and easy pleasure hits that have us addicted to behaviours that are side-track us from putting our energy into longer-term meaningful investments of our effort. Bottom line – we have to reflect on what matters to us to ensure that program is mostly working in our favour. We have to work with the minds natural default settings.

The unforeseen danger of ‘coasting.’

Far from being harmless to entrust the outcomes of our life to the ‘cruise control’ settings, we lose the sense of where those settings actually take their lead. We all know of our conditioning, and how it might equate to the glass ceiling placed over our development, but it may just be a tad more sinister than it seems. Our conditioning is the programming - the beliefs that operate in the background of our lives that were ‘downloaded’ so to speak, as our young minds were developing their own sense of reason. We hadn’t yet evolved that sense of rationality with which to determine fact from fiction. In fact, as smart as we like to consider ourselves, we only know what is right from wrong by the virtues of someone who’s judgement we trusted. In short our conditioning is the beliefs that someone else handed to us, many of which persist to this day as our ‘truth’. And unfortunately a good deal of those operate contrary to our best interests and reflect an inaccurate measure of the values and talents we possess. We can actually be incredibly talented in many areas, but even if we are visibly winning and everyone tells us how awesome we are, it may not sit with the image we hold of ourselves. The false image we are burdened with.

Without getting too deep on the subject, these beliefs that run our life, and sabotage many of our best efforts and the choices that we make, were never decisions that we made. They are the opinion of someone we respected who convinced us of something about the world and who we are that has stuck with us to this day. And in many cases the impression left on us has not come from someone we respected, but just someone who was having a bad day at the time, who left us with a bad emotional stain. An impression that definitely reflects our sense of self-worth, and what we will expect and take on in life, but it is neither true or fair. Shit just sometimes happens, and we are bearing the brunt of it. A scar that we have tried ever since to prove wrong – but the impression runs far deeper than the realms of mind we have access to. Conditioning is the lie we were convinced of about ourselves that we default to when we are not actively engaged in overruling by making wise choices for ourselves. By choosing to downplay those early impressions, and prove to ourselves that we are something more.

But I think it is obvious that if we are not clear on what we want, and what is important to us, and not actively trying to minimise how much of life ‘happens’ unconsciously by living an intentional life, something else is doing the driving for us. Clarity is therefore king. What matters to us? What gives our life a sense of meaning? If we don’t have clarity we have unequivocally handed the controls of our life over to something that may have kept us alive so far, but is both involuntary and has no real interest in our betterment. And without even knowing it we fail to notice new evidence and opportunities. The world is forced into becoming a replica of yesterday. A process of which we have no idea is going on under our noses. Like we are being robbed blind in broad daylight. We have no idea that we played any part in it and so obviously can’t do anything about it. And it all happens so easily that it is a crime. The mind plays this little 'it wasn't me' game on us, and deflects the cause of anything that seems unwanted as being external and coming from something beyond our control. Our life, or how we feel and what is happening in it as a consequence of that feeling, is rolling and we've just let go of the wheel without even knowing it.

Our lives just seem normal, and we have no consciousness of the somewhat 'artificially' created feeling alive in us that is making 'the world as it is' around us feel normal. It doesn’t do it to trivialise our achievements or make us feel like shit so we are more motivated, we have to feel like we are in familiar territory so we can maintain a reasonable expectation of the effect of our actions. This is the main role of the bigger, and subconscious, part of our minds. To sustain our vibration, or our way of being. To make us feel like we are at home in our environment. Even if that home is less than comfortable it is normal and what we are accustomed to. The irony being that even when we have overriding job to make this new experience feel normal. Translating to us that we haven’t really done anything worthwhile at all. The vast improvement has become the new normal, and we are very easily fooled into believing that nothing has changed. That even after all the effort we don’t feel better, or different. We just feel normal – like all of the effort was for nothing.

Pretty cruel really, because this part of our mind is so many leagues above the one we use that we’re pretty much powerless against it — it feels absolutely true that we’ve gone nowhere and achieved nothing. We haven't changed at all. But there is something even more sinister about the nature of this ‘normality’ forming mind. Something that we are being convinced of beyond our knowing.

Our foremost quest as a human being is the pursuit of feeling better, which also means to override those conclusions that support or ‘buoy’ our current emotional state. To prove to ourselves that we can do things that seem difficult to us. That we can do things that might seem impossible – to prove ourselves worthy, and maybe even prove our detractors wrong about us. If we are alive and breathing we will always be driven towards improving who we are — our conditions, how we feel, what we can do. We are compelled to push against that 'wall' of our conditioning. And it seems a real shame to me that many of us not only start so low (with such a bad impression of ourselves.) but that we never even realise what we are up against - against the tricks that our own mind plays on us – and not because it doesn’t want our success as much as we do, it is just not geared for the same perpetual motion of improvements that we’d like to keep seeing. Without insight we can push and strain till our eyes pop out, but we are never going to move the overriding momentum of our subconscious self-image if we don’t know what we are up against and play with it – play by its set of rules.

Doesn't it seem a shame that we ‘get out of the blocks’, or begin our lives imagining everything desirable is probably going to be beyond our reach?

And there is a growing school of thought that this overriding impression we have of the world stems back to a single significant event. When we were very young children and had such a broad and wonderous view of possibilities, someone came along and told/convinced us of what we were worth, and the limits of what we could amount to.

And that event has put a cloud over the entire experience of our life ever since. We were too young to know better, or be able to dispute it in the same way we would if we heard such rubbish now. Our long trusted conditioning that has got us thus far — kept us fed and ‘relatively well liked’, has also spoilt so many of the opportunities that have come by our way because we’ve lived a life convinced we can’t or don’t deserve it. Some great opportunities don’t even make to our attention, but we sure as hell know the ones that were right in front of us but our emotions forbid it and let us down. Because of that early idea we still carry of what we're worth and can accomplish, we lose our nerve when we need it most. Or we get flustered, or stressed or angry at the wrong times, and we ruin things for ourselves. We blow it, and the force behind that moment going awry, comes from that very same idea that got planted in us when we were a little sapling human.

That single event stole more joy from our lives than we will ever know, but there is indeed a way we can get some back.

Our conditioning is that cryptic enemy that talks us out of the things we should do, and ‘reminds’ us that we are not good enough to try that sort of thing. Convinces us that maybe they are right when they say that we're no good. It's the enemy that hides in our mind rationalising every bad decision we make, and every single thing that we 'settled for'. But this default setting that humms along in the background of our lives was never a decision we made - it's a set of beliefs that were handed to us. Before we had developed any sort of rationale some, often unsuspecting, adult dumped a big load of fury on us never considering the lifetime impact it would have on us. And we all live as the rotting fruits of these unsavoury events. When our worldview went from a wonderland to a hell in 3.5 seconds.

That event has stained our psyche to this day, but ever since that day we've done our very best to forget it. We might forget the event but the emotion it left in us sadly lives on. We don't know it's there, or how it is impacting our lives so we can't change it. Make no mistake though — this conditioning that we live with, this enemy that we have battled with our whole lives, is a lie about us that we still believe to this day. An untruth about who we are and what we deserve. We don't notice how these unconscious ideas impact on our life. It is just a ‘vibe’. It’s our vibe —that we became convinced of when we had no choice in the matter. So when we 'coast', as I have put it here, we do not coast in innocence. When we rely on those default settings to do the steering, we are also unknowingly allowing those default beliefs to take the wheel of what's going on in our lives.

How do we reclaim our power?

This is the real tragedy of our lives. Unless we are clear on what matters to us, and moving towards it with intention, we have handed the controls of our lives over to not only a stranger, but one that replicates the emotion of that time when we got floored. That same person who ripped us out of our dream world, is still trampling all over our lives and we can't even get to understanding why it's not going well. For many people they've even given up trying. When we think what we do doesn't matter, then nothing we do matters. Our lives become so hard – like we are trying every day and putting in so much effort to only be getting results that reflect this default subconscious setting. When the truth is that even though a more conscious life might at first seem like we have to be more on guard, and more awake in our minds all of the time, the opposite is true. We experience more peace because we’re doing the driving and choosing.

When we live our lives on purpose we are no longer in a rush. Everything we wanted has already been done and we are just picking up on the signals. We understand that it won't be better when something in our conditions changes — it can only seem better when we are more present in our minds. More aware of that fraud who had us convinced we weren’t worthy of a meaningful life. We realise even though we aren’t the ones doing the driving in our lives, we know how to speak the language of the thing that has got the wheel. We are fluent in imagined emotions. That’s how we tell the driver where we want to go. By imagining how it will feel when we are there. What are the physical sign posts that will allow us to know it is real. And the driver has no option in it – it just makes it true.

We have to trust in the systems we have in place to get us there. Have to understand that we can consciously impact the program running in the background of our lives. A more conscious life is far less effort than we are putting in now because, firstly we feel like we are in control of it, and secondly we can actually start to see different results. It's less effort because we are not fighting against an invisible enemy, and watching our dreams come true at the same time. Dare I say – a more conscious life is becoming smart enough to be working on our energy first. Industria primum. And this is what I referred to when I mentioned that there was something we could do to regain some of the joy that fate had seemingly borrowed from us. That we have a choice in every moment to feel better.

And once we have validated that emotion for its far-reaching effect on the reality we experience, we will be extremely interested in the choice to feel how we want to – to create emotional states from imagination. Once we see how much our state of mind changes the world around us, there won’t be an annoying person on earth, who can easily take us from our heaven.

This is the greatest return from our efforts on the planet. The least effort for the greatest effect on the reality we experience. To actually see the outcomes we’d been trying so hard for.

We have far more power to influence the world by our will, than we are conscious of, because we never realised how unconscious we really are to most of what is happening in our lives. Most of the time we are not feeling as we would choose to – most of the time our feelings are determined by default settings. To change our minds, we have to be more present in our minds — be the ever-present watcher of our minds. To be watching from such a distance that the old version of us seems like a peculiar stranger. To watch our new life unfold we have to become that stranger, watching our lives from the background without getting jostled and emotional about it. We have to become less interested in how we feel, and more interested in why we are feeling that way. What are we feeling and what is the cause, as far as we can tell. Otherwise we are just an emotional hound off the leash. How do you want to feel has to become of more concern to us than however we might feel now. Because those default emotions descend from a lie we were told about us, and how we want to feel is pure light. Is born in imagination and the truth of that which is our birthright.

Feel every flinch as if it were happening to a stranger, so that the mind is no longer slave to the vibration that is trapped in the body.

Being more present in our minds isn't harder. And it is far easier than us living mildly dissatisfying lives where we have no idea of the impact our energy has over what is happening in them. To know we are the cause of everything that has and will happen, is never a burden – it means we can change it. But we can’t change what we didn’t do, just as we can never control what other people do. We can’t change how they are, and every attempt to do so will surely end in tears. If people are a certain way then this is what we have to work with.

We can’t buy our way to heaven. Those things we want to buy are merely trade off's to sooth the dissatisfaction we feel from a lack of purpose - through not feeling in charge of who we are becoming. If our lives are good enough — if things are not too bad — then they are not bad enough for us to want us to change. And that is the hardest thing for most people to deal with. It is the very first step that so very few people ever want to face. Change demands of us that we are upset and frustrated with our lives — it requires a sense of desperation. But so few will go there, or admit it could be so much better. to see change we have to want something else. Something different – very different even to how it is now.

We have to be on guard more of the time, or in that moment when you weren't watching the thief will come and steal the wheel without you even knowing what just happened. We will take all the forward steps, and then in that tiny moment - that vulnerable lapse of reason, we get dragged off into trivia, or distraction. We'll get conned into an argument that has no prize for winning. Or we'll have someone snatch our mood over something that makes no difference to us at all. And just like that our mood, and all the good vibes we've been creating goes 'bang', and we're left holding a smoking gun. State of mind is the trophy of our existence, but to conserve energy it wants to dive into default. State of mind is the prize from which all expectation, circumstances, results, treatment from others, and what we think we can do, finds its beginning.

First steps.

Our very first step in this journey is to be clear on what we want. Then to know the default settings that have the wheel of our life and override them at every available opportunity. To speak the language the driver understands by imagining how it will feel when we get there. What our goal means to us and who else benefits from it. But we should never underestimate mindfulness. Mindfulness is a passageway into the very dimension where reality is created. It is the birth place of everything that exists for us. Mindfulness provides a bridge to the subconscious mind itself. But it’s benefits will never occur to the logical conscious mind. For the ego has only been conditioned to value status and attention. And while mindfulness may not seem to channel anything like this – watch what happens when we are at home in our minds. Watch what happens once we arrive to a place of deep acceptance and appreciation.

And I hear you curse me for the contradictions here. ‘I thought you said we were supposed to be desperate, and on our knees if we want real change’? and indeed we do – but once we have that clear picture of where we want to be, and what it is about our lives that we find so intolerable, we have to come to a place of accepting where we are. We are not battling an external beast here, we are up against ourselves. And the only place we can start any journey towards peace from is a place of peace.

Violence brings violence and peace brings peace. To be one with the mind that has created our situation and the world as it appears to us, we have to dwell in the same sense of acceptance it knows as home. The subconscious is never in a rush, doesn’t understand any concept of regret and has no remorse. None of these things belong in the higher realm. They are human ideas. We cannot participate in the destruction of this moment in any way if we want to get to peace with who we are. As one of my greatest teachers once told me ‘You will feel just as you do now forever.’ Is this how you will spend the rest of your life – because how you feel now will repeat and echo for a very long time. How you feel in this moment is all you will ever have to work with. Living in a created state takes effort, concentration, and energy, so we coast instead.

Or the more common scenario is we, push hard and then stop. Or we go like madmen and then get so tired we slip backwards. We let all of our efforts go to waste because we push like we are possessed at an unsustainable rate. To make our dreams come true, we have to dispel the logical mind. Because it is the thing that is so smart that it just knows this could never happen. We have to allow ourselves to be led into possibility with an open mind, and a willing heart. But I guarantee you living intentionally, and utilising the power of both mindfulness and imagined emotional states takes far less effort than you are putting in already.

Don't let your life remain in an unconscious state of 2 steps forward and 3 backwards by the simple act of not knowing what's important to us and moving towards it with intention.
