Get Better At Living

Always in a hurry. Multitasking forever. Feel like you are chasing endless goals from an infinitely long bucket list.

The constant aim is to make our lives better. Bigger, faster, anything superlative is what we are tirelessly (& most often mindlessly) working at. What if we chase being better at living instead of the constant desire to upgrade our lives.

Let’s not assume it’s a death of ambitions. Nor is it that I am preaching slow thinking or deferring decision-making. It’s more about keeping yourself and your core constant in whatever life throws at you. You can only control your physical body, not even subtle body, then why put up a fight with the situations, circumstances and behaviours of others. All of these are external to your locus of control anyways.

Look inward and guard your space. Keep up your own spirits. Build your own routines. Walk a new path. Put on your playlist and float in the music. If someone lends a shoulder every now & then, embrace it and be grateful about it. Get better at living whatever life throws at you!
