Let go of the unrealistic

Often times, we rob ourselves of joy because we live in the future. We envision a perfect life, a flawless version of ourselves, and a seamless journey to success. But in doing so, we forget to embrace the present moment.

This constant striving for an unattainable ideal robs us of joy in two ways. Firstly, it creates a sense of discontentment with our current circumstances, making it impossible to appreciate the good things in our lives. Secondly, it leads to burnout and exhaustion, as we tirelessly chase an elusive dream. The damage is evident: strained relationships, poor mental health, and a sense of purposelessness.

Let's break free from this cycle by embracing imperfection and focusing on the present. Take it one step at a time, and fall in love with the processes, not just the outcome. Celebrate small wins, learn from failures, and find beauty in the journey. By doing so, we'll discover that joy was never in the future, but in the beauty of the present moment.
