Enough Do-Do Already! Enjoy the Journey
Filed Under Law of Attraction |
How would you like to relax a little about accomplishing goals, deadlines, projects and to-do lists? Most people think the joyful part of a goal is its accomplishment – instead of the process of creation, connection and energy exchange. You aren’t going to get a gold star in heaven – or a nicer tombstone – just for accomplishing goals and getting stuff done!
You wouldn’t want to miss all the fun in life, would you? You might spend months, years or decades working on something. Does it make sense that you might stress, struggle, worry, or be tired much of that time – but the good feeling upon completion only lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to maybe a few days?
We don’t make up goals/tasks/projects just to get them done. When you got to this lovely planet, you said to yourself (even if you can’t remember saying it): “I’m going to make up things to do so that I have an excuse to experience joy by meeting people, creating things, and expanding what’s possible. I’m going to make meaningful connections, laugh a lot, allow in miracles, and be totally awed by every journey I go on. I can’t wait for the journey!!” Accomplishing goals was not the point – the joy of the journey was. Did you forget?
Think about the goals you made up today, and remember that they are just excuses for laughter, expansion, connection and joy. The very purpose of life is joy, so relax about getting things done, and put your energy into how you feel while you do them. Being busy is called “do-do”… so please stop should-ing on yourself!
