127 – Bringing balance back into your life

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up. — Deepak Chopra

It was kind of surprising how many people were not excited to be back at work today. To be fair, plenty of people were still on leave, but there wasn’t much joy amongst those of us who were back at work.

Why?

Because most people wanted to be somewhere else. With someone else. Doing something else. I don’t get it. Not every day at work fills me with joyous satisfaction either, but, if you hate your job give it to someone who’ll appreciate it. You should flee to farm llamas or stay in bed with a large box of chocs or whatever floats your boat. Use whatever excuse you want but if you’re not doing what you want to do in life then you need to make a change to point yourself in the direction you want to be in.

You’ve only got so many breaths in this life, don’t waste a single one doing something undirected towards your bliss. Do more of the stuff that has meaning and is valuable to you. Do less unproductive stuff. Don’t make excuses, stop being a martyr. What are you waiting for?

Manifesto
01. Every day is a fresh new day.
02. Every day is an opportunity for a new beginning.
26. Every day take action. Every small step counts.
