The harder we are on ourselves, the less we change, the angrier we become, the more frustrated we become and the more worn out we become.
When we are easy on ourselves and relaxed, letting things go and being kind to ourselves, the more we grow, the more peaceful we become, the more positive energies we transmit and the more we attract the things that we want in life.
We all live a version of a ‘Walter Mitty’ story in our heads, we create these fantasy versions of ourselves, that we act out in our heads, and in many way, in our actions and behaviours in the exterior world.
The challenge is though, that this ‘better’ or more exciting life/story that we create never really materialises and this leads to disappointment. We are dissatisfied, so we create a ‘better’ life, that never happens and then there is only further suffering, always seeking better rather than allowing the amazing human soul that we all are shine bright.
We expect that our ‘Walter Mitty’ life will become real, but it never does, and that leads to a feeling of lack and discontent. It becomes a spiral with no escape from these created personas.
If only we realised that if we let go of all the stories, the fantasies, the roles, the ‘Walter Mitty’ and actually let our true essence shine that we all have the most amazing life and journey to have.
When we are free from the burden of the stories, then we can be at peace within and then we can truly enjoy life now as our true self.
