Do you recognize this statement?

I’ll ________ when ___________.

fill in the first blank with:

be happy
travel more
relax
have fun

fill in the second blank with:

hit the lottery
retire
leave this job
the kids grow up


There’s a problem with this kind of thinking.
By postponing ‘being’ until you ‘have’ is not only backwards,
but is also not guaranteed.
No one can express this fact better than an oncology patient.
They’re often filled with regrets of yesterday
and an unrealized bucket list of tomorrow.

It’s not about being at your peak,
feeling vibrant 100 percent of the time.
That’s not a reality in a world of free will and human emotions.
It’s more a mindset.

To change the old paradigm from

Have - Do - Be

“When I (have) money, then I’ll travel (do), and I’ll (be) happy”

To

Be - Do - Have

You are NOW fulfilling your purpose!
Creating your life in alignment with who you are.
Bypassing regrets of missed opportunities.

Expressing this freedom brings it’s own rewards, naturally. ❀

Choice. We may not feel the empowerment when we are engulfed in the wreckage of a tangled life, but it is there. Despite the most desperate of situations, you can choose your reality - your thoughts, feelings, perception.




“Everything can be taken from a man but the last of the human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” - Dr. Viktor E. Frankl




I remember struggling with purpose in my life, then reading a book called “Man’s search for meaning” by Dr Viktor Frankl. If the above quote doesn’t resonate well with you, I recommend reading it - it is a game changer - the game in your mind. When your mind is calm, it’s irrelevant that the world is spinning out of control. You can only steer things you have control over.




Release your grasp on the steering wheel of life and open your mind to peace.




“The meaning of our existence is not invented by ourselves, but rather detected.” – Dr. Viktor E. Frankl
