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.

However, it's not your fault.

The story that you've been fed your entire life is powerful and very intriguing.

So I'm here to help you make this one change, and if you can seriously take this one step out of lessons I'm going to teach you to heart... and commit to a different way of thinking,your entire world will change.

Seriously.

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

Give me a second to explain.

Imagine that you're always trying to get to this island where everything turns out perfect and it's all nice and happy. Everything is just great and all of your dreams came true. This is called the "island where it all turns out."

But there's a huge problem. This island doesn't actually exist.

It's a 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.

And when life decides to do what it wants with you instead of going to your "plan" you think that something is actually wrong. You start wondering why nothing is happening the way you thought it should.

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.

Be like those little creatures you can see under a microscope that are constantly shifting and changing and taking on new properties of their environment.

When you live life fluid instead of rigid, you get to experience life for exactly what it is - an ever-changing and ever-morphing experience that we can truly experience all of it's beauty.

But here's where it gets really good.

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.

From this place, anything and everything is possible for you.

Your entire life will change when you stop chasing things that you'll never catch.

Stop rowing.

Be here.
