Before you write this off as some click-baity guru advice… hear me out.
Everyone wants the same thing– we just look for it differently. If you walked into a psychic shop right now and then asked the wise old seer, “hey, how often do you get asked the same bunch of questions?”
The answer would probably be: OFTEN…. Wanna reading?
Anywhose–
We all want love, fulfillment, money (more or less), and success… really, we all want more life.
But LIFE, compared to our self-medicating HBO binges, hardly ever holds up to fantasy. And today in our oh-so-remote and lonely lives, it’s reeeeeally boring.
Your movie somehow became a commercial break, on repeat.
Is that what you wished for growing up?
What if all you had to do was add one small shift into your daily routine, and by changing this– every aspect of your entire life would improve?
You’d be more in the moment, be the center of all the action and fun, and naturally attract awesome opportunities and experiences.
Well, I’ve found it– the one thing and it isn’t as difficult as re-aligning your chakras.
It’s far more simple:
Become Ship-burners and Master the Art of the Restart.
Searching for passion led me to moving around a lot– chasing the dream. I tried virtually everything, literally everywhere: directing, writing, acting, sales, marketing, production, music, then back to I’m-Lost-WTF-should-I-commit-to!!?
Instead of finding my one true love (career-wise) I found an odd habit that I’ve since adopted as a way of life.
Movement.
Back to what it means to be a ship burner.
See, life moves on with or without you, and whatever you pursue there is no guarantee your wishes will come true, so you have to maximize the fun and joy out of each and every moment.
And to do that, you need to make one mindset shift: Radical acceptance of the present. If all you had was right now, you’d operate a lot differently.
For one– You wouldn’t feel guilty about that second muffin you ate, you’d already be onto the next thing.
I don’t think any of us like racing home and vegging on the couch, we do it because we don’t know what to do. But if instead of knowing what our calling was, we had to do our own extracurriculars, we’d instead get our fun from reality– literal, not virtual, AND as a result we’d have better lives.
You have to be a ship burner. I don’t mean tell people off or burn bridges, I mean mentally get rid of, let go, expire your fantasy life because it’s robbing you of real life.
If you want to do something eventually, just do it now.
Do it because all we have is now.
Burn the ships of fantasy and never be stuck on any island.
