It sounds absurd to say this and it is disappointing to admit, but I myself struggled to relax. Now I guess that’s an oxymoron but I’m sure they’re are millions that are right there with me.
Many many years ago I made the decision to do whatever it takes to be the best version of myself that I could be.
There has been a serious amount of reading, workshops, master classes, lectures, speeches, and presentations that predicated the past 15 years of writing and posting.
I don’t know when or if I can say that I’m done. Mine is actually a soft goal that is continually moving.
I would say Confucius is right on the money here. My desire for peace, tranquility, and bliss has contradictorily been labor, intensive, extremely intentional, and the work of my life.
Today I will reflect on gratitude, breathe, and relax.
Somewhere along the line I got caught up in the process and completely lost the goal. Don’t let this happen
Opt for the less complicated.
