Is the Pursuit of Success Wearing you Down?
As a
hard-working professional, you may feel you've been working hard for a
long time but wondering why your life isn’t getting any easier.
If you’re like most people, what seems to be happening is that the
pace of your life is ever increasing, and your To-Do list is
ever-expanding.
Your life is becoming increasingly complex and you have what seems
like less and less time to deal with it all. The result of this
is that you often feel overwhelmed, anxious, and frustrated. There are
days when you
feel like shouting, “I can’t take it anymore!” Deep down, you
know, you just know, there has got to be a better way to experience
your day to day existence.
Why the Pieces Don’t Add Up
Now here’s the
strange thing:
When it comes down to it, as you look
at each individual piece of your life, you realize that you truly love
your family, you actually do enjoy the challenge of your career,
you’re in pretty good health, etc. Each piece of your life looks OK,
so why is it that when you add it all up, that your overall feeling
about your life isn’t deeply satisfying and fulfilling?
What’s missing, you ask yourself?
What's Missing
The missing
ingredient is YOU! The essential you, the you that you can
only feel when you’re in touch with the Present moment. Your lack of
practice in focusing your attention in the Present moment is the
essential skill that is missing from your life. This is not a failure
of your character. We are not taught this skill in our society.
We’re not taught how to be Present, which is the only true access to
deep enjoyment of life.
It may feel to you
that you need to make changes to your life circumstances to have that
deeply satisfying experience of life. That feeling that each day is a
day well spent. You may feel that time management skills are the
answer. What you really need is the skill to manage the Present
moment. When you have this skill, life becomes deeply satisfying just
the way it is. Same family and friends, same career, same schedule, same To-Do
list. Same life circumstances, but a wholly different experience of
life. It's as if someone turned the volume knob down on life and
you're no longer jolted by what happens around you. Instead of seeing
life events and people as threatening to your survival and comfort,
you tap into a fascinated curiosity which helps you to feel and be
lighter. Best of all, like a child you begin to see life again as
magical, beautiful in its complexity and innocence, awe-inspiring in
its subtlety and nuance.
The Fringe Benefits of Being Present
When you master this
skill, other miracles happen! Your relationships become deeper and
richer, success in your career comes easily, money flows in your
direction, and time starts working for you, instead of against you.
Seven Steps to True Freedom
What I do is take
you through the seven steps of what I call the True Freedom
process. These seven steps give you the skill and freedom to be fully
Present in each moment of your full and busy life. Here
is a brief description of the seven steps (please click on any of the
titles to get a more detailed description of each step):
Step 1) Re-discovering Your Innocence,
in this step you get clear on what it is that you
most want out of life.
Step 2) Distinguishing Drama from
What Is, you become aware of the source of
suffering and your ability to control your experience of life.
Step 3) Making the World Right, you begin to practice being
courageous by letting go of all that you are resisting in life.
Step 4) Floating
Downstream, you practice clearly seeing what is real.
Step 5) Relinquish your Reasons, you practice using your True Power: Your
ability to create from nothing.
Step 6) Risk losing Yourself, you confront the fact that the
real thrill of being alive exists at the outer edge of experience and
knowing.
Step 7) Work your Real Job, you become aware of what
your primary occupation in life truly is....other people.
You may have felt
that what you needed to fix your hectic, stressed-out, and busy life
was a shorter To-Do list, or better Time Management skills, or a more
secure future, or all of the above! What I know to be true is that
you can have everything you ever wanted by embracing, trusting, and
rolling in the perfection of the Present Moment.
