The One Lie Running Your Entire Life

By Evan Sanders


Yes...seriously.

There's been a huge lie that has been running your entire life. Problem is, you might not even know it.

Don't worry. It's not your fault.

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

Knowing this lie and what it does to your life can literally change your world.

I know because it changed mine.

The big lie is this: there's a place and time in your life where everything will magically "turn out" and you will be happy.

Let me explain further.

Take a second to imagine that you are in a boat constantly rowing towards this island where your happiness lives. You can see your ideal life: the car, the partner, the house, the job etc. When you think of this place you believe that you will be happy.

This island doesn't exist.

This place is an absolute mirage.

Despite the fact it is a mirage, it's incredibly enticing and will keep you rowing your boat towards it as long as you live because you think that this is where your happiness exists.

Living this way brings out an incredibly messy lifestyle. It puts you on a timeline where you focus on the black and white side of life, on progress, on a strictly future driven mentality and that will cause great amounts of discomfort.

Living this way will bring out anxiety, fear, worry and other negative emotions that bubble up when you refuse to connect with the present moment and are constantly living in the future.

THIS CAN BE INCREDIBLY EXHAUSTING.

But most never get the opportunity to shift their perspective so they spend the rest of their lives rowing rowing rowing and even if they do achieve some of what they wanted for themselves, they realize that their happiness still doesn't live in those things or places.

What do you think mid-life crisis is all about?

What is the shift that needs to take place in order for you to exit out of this way of thinking?

You have to model your life after the amoeba. What?! The amoeba? Yes...let me explain further.

Start to view your life as a living, breathing, morphing, adapting and adjusting entity. When you do this, you can see the world as very colorful and fluid.

It gets even better.

This type of living brings out incredible things in you. Because when you are focus on what's actually developing in your life, you jump off the timeline, you start living more in the present and focus on "what's actually here or what's going on?" and you exit the future.

Start living in the present. You can spend your entire life rowing to this place you will never get to or you can connect with what is right in front of you.

If you can really slow down and connect you will see incredibly changes in your life.

Everything is possible when you live in this type of world.

Ask yourself right now, "What's actually here? What's really going on?"

Quit rowing.
