As human beings, it is our nature to fixate on what we want or desire rather than appreciate what we have right now, or where we are in our own journey. When you think about it, our modern conveniences help solidify those expectations. For example, the Amazon elves will bring us our things from Amazon the same day. Need some things from Target? You can have your order in a couple of hours. Want to order from your favorite restaurant? They can deliver that to you, too, within the hour. Obtaining these things take little effort. Just a click of a button and you can get what you want. These conveniences are great, but it teaches us that we don’t have to delay our gratification.
When we have the ability to get whatever we want, when we want it, we begin to lose the patience needed to trust in the process. We lose belief, that maybe the universe is unfolding as it should, and if something is truly meant to be, it will find its way back to you. We lose the ability to trust the process. And the truth is, going through the process is where we grow and discover more about who we are. When climbing the mountain, the true victories are all the challenges you had climbing it and all you had to go through to reach the top. It’s where you learned what you were really made of. No mountain top can show you that – only the journey can.
Train your mind to believe that whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. If a door is meant for you, it will open. If it doesn’t, well then, it is not your door.
When we fixate on a specific thing or outcome, we close ourselves off to so many other possibilities and opportunities. To realize your full potential, you need to have mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing.
