There!

There
Where is your there?

Some of us live in a world of always trying to get "there". We are consumed with "there". Our priorities are out of line and everything revolves around getting "there." And then, if we do get there, we are not satisfied and we begin another obsession on a "new there". The "there" can be very destructive and unhealthy if not balanced.

Examples of "there": I will be happy and my life fulfilled when I get:
  • That new promotion is my there
  • Paying off credit cards is my there
  • A new job is my there
  • A new title is my there
  • Getting married is my there
  • Retiring is my there
  • Income of xxxxxx is my there
  • Having another child is my there
  • Buying this house and car is my there

But as we all know, when we do accomplish a "there" we look around and say "Is this it?"..... We are not any more satisfied than before so we just move on to the next "there" (usually with more obsession to get that natural high and this leads to even more unhealthy living). The circle goes around and around and we live day in and day out unsatisfied. You know what I am saying? We see it everyday in world! But why?

The good news: Be happy today with your there! Be happy with your current life. Be happy with your present day. Life is so much more fun when you stop the chasing of all the "there" and you just enjoy what you have now and your current life!
