That what we resists, persists.
– Zen koan
We make things more difficult for ourselves when we don’t accept the reality of the present moment. Perhaps you are doing a job you are not passionate about. Perhaps you are in a place where you don’t want to be.
Accept the present moment, then move on from there. Can you do aspects of the thing you are passionate about in your current job? What can you do, in this moment, that brings you one step closer to your goals?
If your passion is art, then volunteer to create some PowerPoint presentation templates that are both artistic and business oriented. If you are passionate about health, then be the shining example of health (diet, exercise, work/life balance) in your everyday life.
You are at a certain place in your life. Accept the reality of the present moment. Use the present moment to connect with the present moment. Accepting the present moment, warts and all, leaves room for us to grow and become something different. When we fight reality we lose and we can’t change. The only true refuge from the fear of the present moment is IN the present moment. Live life fully and attentively.
