Is This One Of Your Biggest Fears?
and how can we make the shift to creating the life we desire.
Have we really set ourselves up for failure because our biggest fear is that if we ever achieved our ultimate goal, there would be nothing else left to do.
Isn’t it weird that if we were given 3 wishes, we’d still ask for stuff?
Think about it, we would ask for the money, or the house or the tropical island. Rather than what we TRULY want from these things, the feelings of joy, safety, excitement, or freedom.
It feels strange to me how we have set ourselves up for this as a society. It’s almost as if we are in fear of living these feelings every day.
We create all these goals, we chase, we strive, and we push our way to all these things, but eventually it comes down to the ultimate goal of how we want to feel.
Here is the thing I’ve realised though, what we’ve learned about goals is that mostly when we’ve achieved them they don’t really hit the sweet spot and become a stepping stone towards the next goals.
We’ve learned that goals are ultimately not very satisfying, that goals are just the things we do, almost like they are our purpose in life. They are just the things to get to and never actually the things we want.
