Society trains you to worry about the future and to establish yourself within societal standards. Instead I chose to believe that I am exactly where I need to be at the moment. The road that I must follow will appear in due time. I trust. I let go.
This is something that I have been battling with allot recently especially the older I become.
As a female in this modern day society that I live in, there are certain expectations that I am expected to adhere to.
Get an education.
Get a good job.
Get married.
Get children.
What does this all tie into??
Status.
Now if I was to follow those guidelines, society would deem me as failing miserably.
I have an education but have chosen a different path than my degree.
I have changed careers so many times trying to find my path.
Marriage is not around the corner.
Children … I don’t believe that I want my own.
Giving into societal demands I find that I am comparing myself to others.
Well…. this friend has achieved this.
That friend has achieved that.
This friend bought this.
That friend received that.
You get the picture.
I realize now that I spend so much time...
Worrying about the future and expectations.
Comparing myself to others.
Which results in fear, sadness, pain, depression and despair manifesting within me!
Not to mention the stress I feel believing that I’m behind schedule especially compared to others.
When in reality that is all BS!!
I am EXACTLY where I NEED to be in the exact moment that I need to be.
I am experiencing what I need to because it is for my highest and best good regardless of what society has taught me to believe!
Everything in my life is an experience that I needed to undergo to learn the lessons to bring to me to where I am now.
My life is not a race. My life is about experiencing, growing and learning lessons so that I may evolve.
Who cares if Joe Shmo has done this or done that.
I am where I need to be right now.
I embrace and accept this.
I let all societal manifested illusions go!
I have trust and faith in knowing that my purpose is to focus on my present experiences.
In time the next steps will appear.
I am exactly where I need to be!
