Reflections (30) - I know you're tired but come, this is the way
callumdemicoli.com/blog
When we’re caught in the cycle of society, there is so much doing.
Eventually, it becomes exhausting. It becomes exhausting because there is no space, just thinking, thinking, thinking driving us to take actions which lead to reactions, and it can all spiral out of control until we're lost, turned and confused. All of this is at our own detriment.
Because we’re taught to strive for happiness and fulfilment from the world around us, our minds become so busy trying to reach something elusive. We can’t really point to what it is, we just think that fulfilment will arrive once we’ve achieved it.
This striving is incredibly detrimental, and often is the root cause of detriment to ourselves, the health of our bodies, the strength of our relationships and the vitality of the planet too.
And, at the end of it all, we don’t feel a deep abiding sense of satisfaction. So, what is it all for? There's no meaning.
There is something quite strange about this.
So, if life has you tired and burned, what if you went the other way?
Instead of searching for fulfilment out there, you found fulfilment in where you are? It is quite possible.
Less action, more relaxation.
Less striving, more contentedness.
Less complexity, more simplicity.
With fulfilment just where you are, you blossom. Your relationships can be repaired, because your mind is repaired. No longer tired, now vibrant. Creative, free.
Clarity.
If your journey of life has you tired and burned, this is the way.
