Experience Today In All Its Imperfection

The secret to a well-lived life is to know what's “enough.”

If you struggle to not be constantly striving, doing, planning- and never being able to relax into having done “enough”- - you are not alone.

What would happen if you stopped looking for the dream and instead enjoyed the beauty before your eyes?

Who would you be if you stopped always striving and pushing for something different, something better, something more?

How will you know what's fulfilling if you are constantly reaching for something else? 

Is being present and content, being lazy? Could being present be productive?  

Could pausing and resting be healthy and helpful?

Our old paradigm is to try hard.  When you meet resistance or get stuck, try harder.  Never give up. Keep pushing and striving.

Where does this get you? Tired.

Many of us continue to search for what’s missing. And constantly focus on fixing and improving.

We keep looking for better and we keep striving. 

We hold out for a taste of perfection — which by definition can never come — and insulate ourselves and protect ourselves from being touched by the life right in front of us.

We end up lonely and discontent.  And always searching for more.

What could happen if you put down your dreams and projects and instead experienced and enjoyed today?

Enjoyed what you have right now?

Not after covid  or when your newborn sleeps or when you get a better job that allows more of ….

But here- now- in this moment.

What could happen if you stopped looking for what might be could be missing? And instead chose to enjoy what's here in all it’s imperfection.

Its likely you would find more calm, more contentment, more peace and more connection.

Exactly what so many of you are searching for.
