– Pema Chodron
What if the life you already have was enough for you? What if you stopped seeking more money, more love, more peace, more fun, more free time, more-of-anything and you simply decided that life as it is today is really, really good? Take a moment now to just imagine it: nothing has changed in your outer experience, but you have decided that you are thin enough, loved enough, comfortable enough, respected and appreciated enough. You have decided that your loved ones are fine just the way they are; that YOU are fine just the way you are; even the world with all of its flaws is perfectly imperfect. I’m starting to realize that there will never come a time when everything and everyone will be just how I might prefer it to be, so I can either keep chasing some elusive better future life, or I can decide to be happy with things just the way they are.
