Sometimes, life feels like a puzzle you have to solve.

A riddle you need to crack.

It’s up to you to find the next step, the right door, the best move.

It’s like a conveyor belt with endless options passing by, quicker and quicker, and we have to pick the perfect object or life will fall apart.

How much is up to you?

All of it?

None?

The responsibility of having to make the right decision can be devastating.

You HAVE to read the signs, and you have to read them well.

You HAVE to find the missing piece, the next key, or you will miss out on what’s possible, and you’ll be fucked.

You HAVE to learn more, study more, meditate more, be in nature more, or do more visualizations of what you’d like the world to be.

Or you have to do less, waaaaay less.

Sometimes all of that is just too much to handle.

The intense fear of missing out, the idea of always being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The idea of not making the most of it, when you could have, and SHOULD have.

I am not here to tell you to stop doing that.

I know that you know how ridiculous and unnecessary it is.

Solutions and next steps and magic keys are never the result of strategic worrying and mental pressure.

And the only thing that is up to you, is finding the eye in the proverbial storm.

The peace is always the missing piece (and it isn’t really missing).

 

But I guess you already knew that.
