If you want to be happy for the rest of your life this post will tell you the secret.
First, just take a moment to picture yourself living in the Stone Age. Imagine sitting in the freezing cold of your damp, dingy Cave. Your belly aches from hunger.
And as you sit there your mind drifts to how wonderful life would be if you could just have somewhere warm, safe and comfortable to live. A ready supply of tasty caught pre-skinned food would be nice too.
Gosh. That must be paradise.
Fast forward a couple of thousand years. And there you sit with all these comforts. But now your telly isn’t big enough. Your car isn’t new enough. Your clothes have the wrong label.
Are you starting to get the picture?
It doesn’t matter what you have you’ll always want more. You are an evolving being. That means that there is no finish line. You’ll never reach a state where you say…
‘Right. That’s it I have everything I ever want. Now it’s time to put my feet up, relax and enjoy the fruits of my labor’.
The horizon always moves further out. There’s always something further to reach for. And that is what keeps us alive. It’s what keeps the universe spinning.
Yet most of us spend our lives racing through life as though, if we can just go that bit faster… just get ahead of the treadmill… that we’ll reach the end line. If we just had this thing, everything else would work out fine.
But it doesn’t matter what you get or how far ahead you get… life will never work out as you want it outside of you… until you get clear inside of you.
