I still don’t…
HAVE
A boat
A beach house
A Tesla
A hot tub
And, yet, I have never been happier in my life…
I mean that, sincerely.
I feel my life changing,
Because I feel my mind changing.
I know I don’t work as hard as I could.
I know I am not as smart as so many others.
But, I know no one is willing to
RECONSIDER their life,
Over and over,
RECONSIDER who they are,
and what they believe,
Moreso than I
RECONSIDER myself.
I have an insatiable hunger
For learning…
For better...
For understanding what matters…
For applying what works...
to achieve happiness.
I read today that “excitement” is the best synonym for “happiness”, and the opposite of happiness is boredom. (From "The 4 Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss... AWESOME book!)
I know that I feel "unhappy" - when I feel bored...
THAT definition makes sense to me...
BOREDOM = UNHAPPINESS...
I read
And
I read
And
I buy
Books faster than I can ever read them…
Because I KNOW…
I KNOW that there is a
Smarter
Better
Happier
More Exciting
Version of me
ONE THOUGHT away…
I keep buying books
About
Mindfulness
Strategy
Execution
Efficiency
Organization
BECAUSE I KNOW…
That if I keep exposing myself
To the RIGHT ideas…
I WILL
Start to embrace them…
And, I AM…
It’s HAPPENING…
It’s happening
A little bit, EVERYDAY…
I am so less concerned with what I don’t yet have…
And, I am more concerned with what I don't yet DO...
That I should be doing.
I am more concerned, with how I don't yet THINK...
As, I should be thinking.
I still want to walk more on the beach,
See more sunsets, more often over water…
Spend more time reflecting,
Outdoors,
With people I love…
And, I am working on it…
And, it’s happening…
I breathe deeper these days.
Guilt is less frequently my companion.
I suck at quiting...
And, I hate waiting.
DON'T STOP BELIEVING in your own life…
'cause I ain't stopping nor waiting any more to believe in mine.
I won't keep WAITING for my life to happen.
I won't keep WAITING for some amount of wealth,
For some "event" or eventuality...
Some point in time,
"some DAY”
To make my life happen…
My life is happening TODAY –
And, I am engaging with it in a different way…
I’m not all the way there yet –
But what I read in books is sticking with me
And become more visible in my own behavior
And in my own way of thinking…
My life is changing
Because my mind is changing…
I am excited about today…
I am happier than I’ve ever been…
I’m not just saying that…
I’m feeling
That…
My whole life, I have been chasing “some” levelof something…
To feel like I am “enough”…
For whatever reason,
I no longer feel like
LIFE is waiting for me on the other side of some achievement…
I realize life is happening
In every moment…
I read today in this book by Mr. Ferriss that "most people choose unhappiness over uncertainty"...
I choose
UNCERTAINTY!
I am in it…
Steering
Toward
Excitement…
I feel my life changing,
because I feel my mind changing...
In harmony,
Nestor
