the present life you want to achieve is generally reached through surrender. not endless anticipation and struggling attempts to cultivate a plan. just following the simple toolkit of unconscious decision-making, and getting out of the mental state of a wanting a self-chosen road to go exactly to plan.

authenticity even, is often chosen behind closed doors. an attempt at perfecting your fit into a carefully curated profile of who you want to be, but this mostly falls short.

to have granular expectations is just giving fuel to the creation of anxiety in reaching some self-proclaimed end product. instead, the practice of generalization of direction, satisfaction with forward progress into action not pre-chosen, but action that resonates with who you are deeper down.

Be driven by feeling. this visceral pull from being around the right people, from choosing the right activities and intellectual pursuits. you feel the energy of the universe gravitating you towards what is meant for you, and it pulls you into the person you were always meant to be. surrender to the energy of the universe.
