Could you leave behind what you cherish most in your life right now?
Even if it meant you could replace it with anything you wanted?
For the past few days I've been staying near the base camp of Chirripó mountain, the highest peak in Costa Rica. I've had a chance to stay with and meet many Americans who have moved to this beautiful region of the world to experience the peace and natural beauty that's offered here.
There's a price to pay for those benefits. You might think it's relationships or comforts that are the enemy of making changes in life, yet it's really something much more subtle and powerful.
What do you have that's the biggest Enemy of What you Want?
Certainty.
Or rather the illusion of certainty.
When we have what we have, and do what we do, there's the illusion that we'll continue to get what we've gotten. At any moment illness, tragedy, or natural disaster can strike and take anything and everything that you have.
Effectively you own nothing except for your experience.
Everything is borrowed in this lending library of life.
If you're tired of what you have, you must be willing to return it to get something new.
The big worry is that we'll end up with something worse, and this just isn't true. You already know where the "worse" section of the library is and intuitively avoid it.
The only options available are: Same or Better.
If it can't get worse, then why not return to your current conditions and try for what's better?
The only thing you can lose is certainty, but you never had that anyway.
What are you afraid to give up in your life instead of going for what you want? Let me know.
