Nearly everyone would agree that life is imperfect. Almost everyone has a list of things they’d change about our situation, if they could.
On a related note, it’s easy to form a list of people who are better off than we are. “Better” is always out there, in most cases being forced on us through our steady diet of media consumption.
By this logic, someone out there is looking at someone else who “has it all,” and yet the person who has it all, sees a laundry list of things they don’t have. They might even look at someone else and think “THEY have it all.”
Maybe if we looked at ourselves through someone else’s eyes, we’d see our abundance. Maybe not.
How is it that people who have it so good, cannot accept their good fortune? Perhaps this world, with all its troubles never gave us permission to have everything we want. It’s as if there is something innately wrong with feeling satisfied, or balanced.
Why is it so hard to believe that we could have it all, when we so eagerly rush to assume that someone else has it all?
I’m not saying there’s no hardship, I’m not saying there’s no struggle…that’s not what THIS post is about.
I’m simply wondering why more people don’t appreciate all they have and believe that they can have everything?
What makes “having it all” seem impossible?
When we do get what we want, why are we constantly expecting “the other shoe to drop?”
Maybe I’m wrong, but…
I think we can have everything we want.
I don’t think the path will be easy, it will take work, and it will (likely) not last forever.
You may achieve everything and then lose it.
But I don’t think there is anything wrong with believing you can have the dream life you set your mind to.
And quite frankly, if you don’t believe that, I don’t care what the reasons are.
I’m giving you permission to throw away the doubt, and to believe that you can have absolutely every last thing you’ve ever wanted in your life. Because the ONLY person saying you can’t, is you. Anyone else, might not be worth listening to.
