Just be

Posted on by philipdodson

Don’t love, be love, don’t be happy be happiness itself. Don’t search for love, be love, don’t search for happiness be happy, just be, just be, and just be, be the things that you are searching for in life, if you want something then be it, be…

Life has been overcomplicated, it’s simple.

Get up get out of bed each day and just be, don’t say I need something or I want something, just be, life is full of magic that is not found by worrying about what you have or haven’t got, what you will be in the future, just be. Don’t measure by what we do, achieve, have, haven’t…don’t judge, just be and live a life that is without having to continually measure our worth based on things that do not matter.

Enjoy the now as that is our life, now is it. The past is gone, and the future has not happened yet and will be what we ‘be’ now.

Just to be is the hardest thing to do, but all the best things are hard to start with and get easier and become easy as we do it day after day. Easy things become harder and have no worth.

Just be.

Under pressure

Posted on by philipdodson

We are all under a huge constant pressure to be amazing, perfect, super human, great at everything, constantly doing, earning more, buying more, bigger, better…we need to be a doer, a go-getter…

We are all the same, we are probably good at one or two things, no human can be great at everything. To be good at anything takes time, practice, commitment and pain, it’s not something that you fast track from reading a ‘how to be a winner at everything’ book.

The things we really value are not related to achieving, money or stuff. They are things like people, adventures, having a laugh and so on.

It’s also not about what others are doing and measuring ourselves against them. We need to set our metrics by our own personal values and move thing else.

Once we accept we’re ordinary, like everyone else on the planet then we are no longer under pressure and life is so much better.

No one does well under pressure despite the myth of such fed to us by the machine that keeps us slaves to meaningless deadlines. Keep running round and round the hamster wheel.

From this place of peace and acceptance we can then focus on the things that matter and live a purposeful life getting even better at one or two things we love doing.

Our worth is not determined by a meaningless pursuit of happiness that only comes when we reach this nirvana of being fucking great at everything. We never reach it and who hell wants to?
