0.000 HBDOne Day At A Time
Feeling overwhelmed? Don't know what to do to make that change in your life? It is hard for us humans to figure out what the heck we are supposed to do with our lives. Especially when the universe brings surprises into your "life plan" leaving you paralyzed on what to do next. The best advice I received when I facing this huge problem we all share was by my Grandfather Mike and it saved me when I was at one of my worst moments. He said, *"PM (Paul-Michael is my first name haha) you are moving too fast. Your brain, your actions, your thoughts are all moving too fast. You need to slow down, starting noticing the little things in your life that matter. Get yourself aligned with the universe."* I responded: "How do I do that, that seems impossible?" And then the golden nugget came out of his mouth: **"One day at a time."** <center>  </center> I got goosebumps, holy shit, is it really that easy? The solution can't be that simple. Let me tell you after five years since that conversation, I can emphatically tell you **yes it is that simple** I started appreciating the small moments that made up my day instead of focusing on the things I didn't get accomplished that I wanted to according **to my plan.** I realized, who the heck am I to tell the universe: "na after all you did to have me born, I am going to do my own thing." Like what was I thinking. Then, I realized that is the human ego latching out. I really thought I knew what was best for my life. I had to have control, it's my life I thought. A mere mortal knew better than an immortal being (whatever you may call it). I could not have been so wrong. You need to step back and realize you do not have control, the universe does, and all you can do is to your life purpose in the best way you can in that moment. Why does it matter so much that us humans have to have control? <center>  </center> Every since I realized that and starting taking **one day at a time** my life has changed immensely. I rapidly found out more about myself, different interest I have, and the best more about how incredible the universe really is. This reality we are in is freakin incredible. We just take it for granted because everyday when we wake up it is there. Just wait until you wake up and everything has changed. What are you going to do then? Google it? <center>  </center> Na you won't be able to find the answers you are searching for and you will sputter out of this reality like so many other souls do. I know change is hard, but you won't experience any growth unless you change. I know from personal experience that all the meaningful growth I have had as a person is due to all the changes I go through on a daily basis. **Greatness adapts.** Will you? <center>  </center> Thank you as always for your time and attention.
