Stop Hoping for a Completion of Anything in Life
The beauty of life lies in our constant struggle to solve the ever-present challenges we face daily.
I just read these from the book "The Way of the Superior Man" on the morning of the 2nd day of July, and I thought it was worth sharing:
Most men make the error of thinking that one day it will be done. They think, "If I can work enough, then one day I could rest." Or, "One day my woman will understand something and then she will stop complaining." Or, "I'm only doing this now so that one day I can do what I really want with my life." The masculine error is to think that eventually things will be different in some fundamental way. They won't. It never ends. As long as life continues, the creative challenge is to tussle, play, and make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift.
Indeed as David Deia goes on to explain further:
It's never going to be over, so stop waiting for the good stuff. As of now, spend a minimum of one hour a day doing whatever you are waiting to do until your finances are more secure, or until the children have grown and left home, or until you have finished your obligations and you feel free to do what you really want to do. Don’t wait any longer. Don't believe in the myth of "one day when everything will be different." Do what you love to do, what you are waiting to do, what you’ve been born to do, now.
Thank you David Deia. I needed these rich words at this time of my life. Hopefully, I practice this, spending TWO, not just ONE hour a day.
