The Journey vs. The Dream
By Caroline Diana Bobart | Guest Writer for Wake Up World
It is a curious mindset – when you find yourself fixated on an outcome that you feel, once you have achieved it, will solve all of the unhappiness, lack and struggle you desperately want liberation from in your life right now.
What is your symbol of freedom? Do you imagine yourself starting your own business? Writing a book? Creating an offering? A product? Starting a charity? Or championing a cause?
Do you put yourself under enormous pressure for it to become nothing less than a success? Do you hinge your future prospects for peace of mind, well-being, abundance or purpose on being able to create it?
It is so important to realise that when you attach your emotional and spiritual well-being to some external thing… to a dream, a cause, an aspiration, to something that doesn’t yet exist… you take yourself out of life’s creative flow in the present moment of NOW. The “one day, I will finally be able to…” kind of thinking takes you to an abstract place in the future, often leaving you feeling disempowered and unfulfilled in the present.
