The One Lie That's Running Your Life

By Evan Sanders


Are you serious?

Absolutely. There's a huge lie that has been running your entire life and you didn't even know it.

But it's not your fault.

We've all been fed this story and it's incredible powerful.

If you take what I'm about to say seriously, it will change your entire life.

Seriously.

Here's the lie - there's this place where "it's all going to turn out."

Give me a second to explain.

Imagine you're constantly trying to get to this place called "the island where it all turns out." This island lives in your mind and it's where your life looks absolutely perfect and happy. Everything comes true on that island. But there's a huge problem with this island.

This island doesn't exist.

It's a amazing mirage.

It's the most beautiful mirage you have ever witnessed. It's beautiful enough for you to continue running towards it constantly because you think it really exists.

All of this running to a place that doesn't actually exist will absolutely ruin your life.

When you live this way, you think that your happiness will only exist on this little island and that everything in your life has to be moving to that place.

When things don't go according to "plan" all of your fears, doubts and worries come out to attack you.

AND THIS IS EXHAUSTING.

Everyone has been fed this great lie of "the island where it all turns out" in one way or another and it stops them from truly living as happily as they could be. Most never get the opportunity to shift their perspective on how they can live their life and they end up chasing this island until the end of time.

Think of mid-life crisis for example.

So what needs to change?

Be amoebic.

Yes, those little microscopic creatures that constantly shift and change.

When you start viewing your life as an ever-changing, shifting, and morphing entity you end up focusing more on growth. You see life as very colorful, an opportunity for learning, experiences, change and development.

Here's where it gets even better.

When you live fluidly, you give yourself the chance to experience everything that life has to offer and live in the true "great surprise" of it all.

When you live this way, you stop chasing what doesn't exist and you start experiencing life for what it is right now.

You are present.

And from that place, everything is possible.

So pull your oars out of the water and ask yourself right now, "What's actually here? What's really going on in my life? What do I have to be grateful for?

End your running.

Be here.
