Fed Up With Desiring The Destination

I am so fed up of desiring the perfect life! After all, will I ever reach or achieve the perfect life? This is a short contemplation around desiring to reach a destination instead of enjoying the journey. I hope you enjoy it.

Transcript

I'm so fed up of desiring the perfect life,

Yet my mind does not stop bugging me about it.

I have understood though that this perfect life that I desire so much will never come.

And the contradiction is that the day that everything will be perfect in my life is impossible.

So expecting it is an imperfection on its own.

How do you notice that yourself?

We want a non-stressful life,

But how can we grow when there is no force to propel us forward?

We crave a worry-free relationship,

However,

How can we truly be in love and care about our close ones without the fear of losing them?

I'm so fed up of desiring the perfect life,

But when I take the time to contemplate on it I realize that that's not exactly it.

The truth is that I'm fed up with my head,

With my mind,

With my thoughts.

I'm fed up with myself for desiring and wanting and expecting and demanding an imaginary life.

The bottom line is that I'm annoyed with myself for wanting to bypass the experience and the journey,

For being eager to reach the end in one go,

To arrive at a destination that we can never arrive.

Because you see,

The destination is momentary.

When we get there,

Immediately it's gone.

The journey,

On the other hand,

Lasts forever.

The journey is the one that lasts our whole life.

I know what I desire the most now.

What about you?

What do you desire the most?

That was Pierros from Coaching Under the Tree with some random thoughts.

Thank you for listening.

Yes. It made me stand back and think about the journey. Here is here and now is now. Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks for this reminder. When I'm dancing I'm not trying to get to the end of the dance. I'm just immeresed in the expression of each beat as they happen. You have such a soothing voice Spiros.

Thank you Spiros for your uncompromised honesty and for voicing of what also I encounter every now and then! In addition to what you are voicing, in my case, part of me is then tired of being tired. And another part is wanting to allow all this turmoil. And when this part is listened to things get softer. That may take sometimes take quite some time though. Yet another part sees all this. Recognize some of this?
In any case thank you!

This profound talk couldn’t have come to my life at a more perfect time! We have to remind ourselves again and again that journey is not optional when trying reach a destination.

So much wisdom packed into 2 1/2!! this is something I’ve struggled with my whole life. The way that you explain this was so simple and very helpful. Thank you!!

Clearly described, appreciated, & can relate; thank you! 💗

Spiros nails it in 3 min - stop thinking about where we want To Be and try to enjoy the precious present... starting now! 🤓

Thought provoking, thank you Spiros. Love and blessings 💙x
