Principle #2 UNHOOK FROM THE FUTURE
Being hooked to the future is tied to a lot of negative emotional pull:
Being hooked to the future is tied to a lot of negative emotional pull:
fear, worry, striving, manipulation, what else?
What are the personal costs of being hooked to the future?
If we are hooked to the future:
we miss the moment,
we lack awareness,
we miss creating now
we miss life, growth, learning
we walk around with the false belief that tomorrow will be better, if
only...
we are not open to what is
we worry about what may or may not occur
we are stressed -- headaches, illness
we are resisting or chasing what would be, what could be
we are insecure
"What if I invest a lot in the future and the future does not invest in
me?"
we are not satisfied - ever
we are not attractive
What's involved in the process of unhooking?
Ask: "What is the next step for me?"
Be as present as possible to now. There is no-where I need to be, for I am
now-here!
Remember everything always works out (or not)
Look at what you are tolerating: fear and worry are tolerations
Prayer - focus on the now and choose contentment
Realize we always have the choice to unhook from fear
Be open, trust
What seems impossible rarely is
"Ask and you shall receive"- trust the future enough to ask!
Realize when you could be trying to force an outcome and stop it!
Let your future find you - don't chase it.
Use intention and act as if (beyond want) - but intention must be based on
trust not magical thinking and manipulation (or we're still hooked!)
