Isn’t my old idea of perfection, of being done and never changing, stagnation?
I equated enlightenment with perfection. Attain enlightenment and I’ll be done, perfect, and never changing
I notice now that I have a feeling of anxiety that is always in the background to get thinga done, to be done. But then what? I never stay done. It’s always on to the next and the whispering anxiety bubbles up once more
My limiting beliefs have made the idea of not being done so unappealing that even when I am moving towards what I want there is constant dissatisfaction because I’m not already there
“Stop and smell the roses”
Being in a finished state is temporary. “Change is the only constant”
Progress = Growth = Exploration = Discovery
Aren’t the words above something to be excited about?
