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.

It's not your fault.

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

If you make this one change in your thinking, it will change your entire world.

Seriously...things will change.

Here's the BIG lie: there's an island where it all turns out.

Let me explain this.

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 actually exist.

It's a mirage.

It's an incredible mirage because you swear it's real. It looks real enough to make you want to run for your entire life to it in an effort to really see if it does exist. But it doesn't.

Even worse, all of this running to a nonexistent place ruins your life.

When you believe this great lie, you end up trying to always get to a future that doesn't actually exist.

It will bring out anxiety, fear, doubt, worry, and pretty much every other negative emotion in the book because you aren't slowing down at all and constantly seeking a place you will never get to.

This will eventually cause everything to crumble around you.

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.

Think of mid-life crisis for example.

So what needs to change?

Be amoebic.

A what?! Yes, an amoeba...you know those ever-shifting microscopic creatures that you probably studied in some science class along the way? Ok I guess I'll have to explain further.

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.

And here's where it gets even better.

When you aren't rigid, you will experience all that life has to offer. You will see that things are not so black and white but rather a wide array of color and experiences.

When you exit the future and show up in the present moment, you are living in the only place where you can actually be - the present. You can't exist anywhere else (we try sometimes).

You are truly present for the first time.

And from that place, everything is possible.

So stop chasing what doesn't exist and live in the present moment. It will change your life.

Stop rowing.

Be here for the first time.
