As a life coach my job is to support clients in achieving their dreams. Depending on your point of view, you will either grow from struggle or ease.
If you grow from the point of view that “I’m not there yet”, everything will be a struggle because you keep saying “Someday I’m going to be there”.
If you grow from “Now is perfect”, everything will be easy, effortless and enjoyable because you are satisfied with now and eager to add to it.
Where are you growing from?

There is an intrinsic nature to the world, but human beings do not have a very solid relationship with it. We (The Human Race) have a relationship to our perception, opinions and generalizations.
To be in a state of hope tells me that The Drunk Monkey (the mind) is focused on the possibility that what you want might not turn out. To hope is to speculate that there is a chance that things might not work. It is more powerful to know than to hope.
Hope, anger, frustration and resignation are all emotions that might result from a potentially negative future that The Drunk Monkey is inventing.
Inventing, that’s just it. The Drunk Monkey invents futures that it perceives are favorable or not, and then you get to enjoy some crazy emotion that has nothing to do with this moment.
What in the world is going on with The Drunk Monkey?
