The things we really want in life often, ironically, prevent us from being truly happy. When we spend more time thinking about what we don’t have rather than what we do, we get impatient and often dejected. And always thinking about the future means we’re not living in the present moment. This is why we need to let go of our desires. Yes, you read that right. And no, I’m not implying you shouldn’t desire things. I do.
But the things we desire are part of our journey - one that takes time, effort and most of all, patience. And by assuring ourselves the things we desire simply haven’t materialized “yet” inspires us to keep striving toward those goals while simultaneously honouring what’s already present in our lives.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- How to stop focusing on the future and trusting the journey
- What it’s costing you you hang on to a desire
- Why wishing for something often means missing things altogether
- Why we sometimes desire the wrong things
- Why our impatience can actually delay us even more
- What to do when feeling FOMO (fear of missing out)
- Why is important to disconnect from social media to find presence
Hope you connect with this episode, and would love to hear if you’ve had to let go of a desire, only to find it worked out better for you in the end!
