The person who must have something, the one that is so desperate to get that thing they’ve given up on every other unrelated aspect of life– they never get it.
But that part time casual, the one who is practical and steadily works towards that aim, they end up achieving it.
Desperation is delusions cousin.
As soon as you need something, all-or-nothing need it, do or die type of desire– contrary to popular guru opinion, you don’t get it.
In fact, your mind makes that thing you so desperately want bigger than what it is, it distorts it, and now you’re further removed from it.
You end up being all weird when you have to take action or approach it, and when faced with opportunity, you’ll self sabotage. We all have this– the only question is where are you weird? Ever notice the areas that come so easily to you, you pretty much don’t care about? I have friends who really value having social circles….
…and then theres me, who literally goes hermit, unplugs, and missing for months.
Some think it’s rude, but you know how artists get— we disappear regularly in the name of creativity.
Point is, it’s me who easily gets the social circles out of all the people I know. Easily. I send text, they say yes, we social-vert.
Never understood what was difficult there.
I get weird with creating.
“Oh, we’re making something?” face gets all itchy, I start thinking grandiose, the playfulness wears off, and now it’s all-or-nothing thinking.
The solution? Apply the same method from the areas of life you’re effortless in– but to your desire. To do this, you have to let go.
You have to make it smaller, not bigger than it is.
You have to see it as just another thing, nothing more or less.
Trust that if it’s true to you— to who you are, you’ll return to it. If not, you’ll find what is. Either way, you’ll find what you were really looking for.
