Nothing turns out like we imagine it will, by default, our mind and its ego conjure up the worst possible outcome…sometimes, almost quite unimaginable!
If life turned out as we imagine, firstly, what would the point be, as the uncertainty of life is what makes it special and secondly, life would be miserable, as we imagine the future to be challenging.
What if we decided not to waste our energy on predicting something we can’t predict as the future isn’t real beyond our mind? What if we decided to focus our energies on enjoy this moment now, the only time that we are actually alive? What if we stopped creating our own suffering worrying about something that will never happen in a time that isn’t real?
Perhaps, life would be more enjoyable, worth a try maybe?
