A Lesson on "There is No There": Enjoy Life, Right Now


Listen Later

In this episode, you will learn:

  • How to enjoy the present moment now, and not wait until you get 'there'
  • How to question why you have the goals you have
  • Ways in which you can recognize if you're waiting for 'there'
  • This past week, after sharing with a friend that I have a goal of purchasing a home in the next year or so, he then asked me, "why do you want to buy a house?" I shared a few things that came to mind such as being able to host friends and family, hang Holiday lights and an American Flag on my front door. It then occurred to me that the 'why' behind my goal of achieving buying a house had nothing to do with my 'why' of being. My 'why' of being is to connect, share love and kindness while I inspire others to live their best lives. So ... why am I so focused on this goal of buying a house that it's making me miss the present moment? This idea that once I have 'X', things will be different. I think a lot of us live our lives this way, and it makes us miss the precious time we have each day. Listen in to hear more about how to live for today and not for the 'there' that may never come.
