What if the way you are right now is as good as you will ever be?
Scary thought or freedom?
Hey there conscious creators.
Thanks for being here right now with me and for hitting play today.
Not just on this audio track,
But for hitting play on your life.
And welcome to another edition of the You Are A Conscious Creator podcast,
Where I hope this message can provide you with some inspiration and guidance to help you consciously create a life of meaning,
Purpose,
And one that you absolutely love.
So today I'm going to invite you to play a little game with me.
I have a bit of a thought experiment that I want you to play along with,
Because I think it could really open your eyes to how you live your life,
Or how you want to live your life.
So I invite you to indulge me and truly consider the questions I teased in the opening.
So I'll ask you again.
What if the way you are right now is as good as you will ever be?
Think about it.
What if the way you are right now,
At this point in your life,
Is as good as it will get for you?
In every single aspect.
Your health,
Your wealth,
Your relationships,
Your career,
Your body.
This is it for you.
The way things are right now is the way it's going to be forever.
Sit with that for just a second.
Now my next question.
Is that a scary thought or freedom?
Does that frighten or liberate you?
What is your initial reaction when asking that question?
Ask it again.
What if the way I am right now is as good as I will ever be?
And just see how your body reacts.
Let's take it one step further.
What if you had nothing left to prove to anyone or yourself?
Nothing.
For the rest of your life.
Pause now.
Now if you sincerely answered these questions,
And played along,
The only thing left to ask ourselves is,
How would this change the way I spend my time?
If this is the best life is going to get for you,
And everything in your life is going to stay exactly the same to what it is right now,
What would change in your day to day life?
How would you go about the time you have left?
For some,
This could indeed be a scary proposition.
It could be a sign that you are dissatisfied with the present state of your life in some way and desire more for yourself.
For others,
This could be the ultimate liberation,
Pure freedom that ushers in complete self-acceptance.
If you and your life staying exactly the same as it is right now scares you,
That isn't necessarily a bad thing though.
It could simply mean you have tons of untapped potential.
It means you know you are capable of so much more.
It means you have a lot to get.
It means you want more out of life.
And that's amazing.
Trust me,
I've known what that feels like.
Feeling like I'm not living life to the fullest.
So maybe,
Look at this as a sign to start taking small steps towards creating the type of life you really desire.
I'm sure you heard of the saying,
Don't die with your music still in you.
So if there's a melody inside you yearning to be sung loudly,
Proudly,
And vibrantly,
Then start nurturing that voice and allow it to come out and sing.
But if that notion of life being as good as it gets for you really frightens you,
It might mean that you've been tying your happiness and worth to extrinsic factors.
Meaning,
If you were to stay exactly the same as you are now,
That would mean you wouldn't accomplish any of the goals or dreams you set out for yourself.
It means you wouldn't have your desires anymore.
Perhaps you are working too hard.
Perhaps this is a sign to bring more balance to your life and to reflect on what exactly it is you're chasing.
Maybe this is the call to connect with yourself and the intentions for your life more deeply and gain more perspective.
If you fell in the latter category and you felt an instant sense of liberation and freedom when I asked that question,
This could be a sign to give yourself some grace and just start living your life fully.
It could mean you yearn to let your hair down and relish the simplicity of the present moment and the natural unfoldment of day-to-day living.
Maybe this frees you to pursue a passion,
A burning joy,
An endeavor that really lights you up from the inside,
Without making it a means to some greater purpose or goal in your life.
Maybe it just gives you the freedom to fully accept your life as it is right now.
Because the irony of doing this work,
Being on the spiritual path,
Spiritual growth itself,
Is that once we accept ourselves and our current situation fully,
Without any need for anything to be different,
This becomes the exact moment when our true purpose starts to get revealed to us.
Perhaps this is when we can get out of our own way,
Stop caring what other people and society think and just embrace our life as it is.
It's in this space we become lighter and life gets easier.
So I invite you to think about this and see what comes up for you.
I know for me it has given me something to think about,
Something in the back of my mind now every time I sit down to plan my week and map out all the things I want to do and accomplish.
In either case of how you answered,
Whether it's a scary thought or freedom,
And even both because for me I felt both of these reactions,
Allow it to play a factor in the way you spend your time and plan your time in the weeks and months ahead.
Time is the one thing we will never get more of,
Whether you seek to express some burning untapped potential inside of you,
Or embrace and accept yourself and your current life situation more fully,
Either way the clock is ticking.
Next week,
Next month,
Next year,
Who knows,
It may never come.
Thanks for listening,
I truly hope this can help you along your path.
As always,
Have a wonderful,
Beautiful,
And highly conscious day.
Much love.
