⛵ Speaking My Mind 6 - Sometimes You Just Need To Sail Away⛵

Do you get a feeling sometimes you just need to "sail" away with really no direction or a heading? Just push away from the shore and let the wind take you wherever it takes you. Do you sometimes just crave simple and liberating silence?

I truly believe you can't always play it safe and try to plan for everything in life. Trying to control every single detail of your life. I also like to plan ahead but don't you think we overdo it sometimes? Don't you think overplanning sometimes also creates expectations of how we would like something to turn out?

The problem with creating big expectations is that you are also setting yourself for disappointment as well. You are putting too many expectations on yourself and even if you do good it will still not be as good as you expected. And, even if you do great you still did not meet your expectations. Which makes you feel like you failed. But in reality, you have just put too many expectations, to begin with.

Don't you think we should "sail" away through life sometimes? Just push away from the shore and let the wind takes us where it takes us. Let go of all expectations and just let the things turn out as they turn out. Let go of the pressure of expectations on how we think things should turn out in our lives? Don't you feel you should just let go sometimes?

Are we trying to control too much in our lives? Do we really need a huge house, nice car, boat, or whatever to be happy? Or are those just those tricky expectations we put in our heads? Expectations of what we need to be happy. Do we really need all those things to be happy? Or are those just expectations and pressure we put on ourselves thinking we need all those things to be happy?

I believe the social pressure of what is "success" today is highly overrated. I believe not much is needed for true happiness. One of the keys to our happiness hides in simple and beautiful GRATEFULNESS. Gratefulness for simplest things in life such as waking up in the morning. Do you feel sometimes like just wanting to "sail" away from the expectations and pressure you put on yourself and let the wind take you where it takes you?
