As We Find Ourselves

By Evan Sanders


Erasing. Erasing. Erasing.

The more I erase the more I find. Seems to be a little counter intuitive to what we are taught isn't it? Most of us come from a place of how many things can we possibly learn to make ourselves better?

Maybe it's time you erase all of the unnecessary things in your life and look for the person who you truly are.

The personal judgements, criticisms, the ego, and everything else in the book that turned out to be a tad bit too much. I realized that I fell into the trap of "I'm not good enough" and had spent all of my time learning how to tell stories about things that I had added in so others would be impressed. Oh how I was on some stage back then. I was on a stage being pulled every single way by all sorts of strings.

What would happen to your life if you actually did that?

I found out. Wasn't comfortable because I felt lost for a while, but I really did find out. In fact, you know how anxiety inducing it can be to really begin to comprehend that you have absolutely no control over the future?

HUGE. I mean, big time. I started to panic because the place I had lived in - the future - was a shallow reminder of how hard I had tried to live my life in the land of "it will all turn out."

But you must come back to the only moment you have - right now. This moment. Because there's really nothing else for you. There's nothing else that you can enjoy. The past or the future are both places you can't go. So why not live in the moment?

As frustrating as that may be, it's incredibly liberating. It's powerful. So let it be.

Because when you connect to what's going on, anything is possible. Anything. The world becomes yours. But when you try to constrict it all, you've built yourself the worst prison possible - one in your mind.

So live your life wild and free.
