Why am I STILL not happy -Nichole Carlson

And you lay in bed late at night, unable to sleep… “Why am I STILL not happy?”

There’s a moment…
A moment you’ve been waiting for…

Where everything starts happening for you and you wanted it so much… and you think that these are the things.
Logically it makes sense.
Everything you’ve worked for starts to come in!

But there’s this feeling… That it’s not quite perfect. It just doesn’t quite feel right. Something’s slightly off.
Looks good.
Feels good.
It’s what you’ve been asking for.
You’ve waited so long.
And you’re so fucking tired of waiting.
That despite this feeling, you fucking take it.
You rip that apple off the tree.
That low hanging fruit.
“I fucking deserve this!”, you scream.
I’ve worked for this!
It’s my time now!

And that’s when it starts.

That little feeling.
It’s a little sick feeling in the pit of your stomach that you attribute to something else.
“Oh no I’m not working enough,” you bury yourself in work.
“Oh no I’m not doing enough.” you run from the voice that’s telling you to stop.
“I’m behind in LIFE!” you proclaim, and turn your back… on that voice… on your voice… you turn your back on yourself.

And you look away, leaving yourself in what you know will slowly kill your soul.

You look away from the thing that that feeling is telling you to look at.
And you ignore it.

You reason with it.
You say, can’t I just stay?
Can’t I just play for a while?
Can’t I just dip… my… toe in?
And you push your intuition down.
And you say no to your souls’ true desires.

Cuz you’re unwilling to wait.

And really there’s a part of you that thinks it’s not possible.
It’s not possible to get what you want fully.
You have to sacrifice just a little bit of your soul, just a little bit of what you truly desire, so you can get something.
“Life is a compromise,” you say.
“You can always get what you want,” you say.
“I don’t need much,” you say.

 

But something tells you to walk away from the fruit.
The taste of it now turns bitter in your mouth.
You know. But you keep insisting it was yours.

That feeling turns into headaches.
That feeling turns into anxiety.
That feeling turns into anger and resentment as things slowly fall apart…

As they would…
Because you settled…
Because you didn’t wait…
Because you reached for the low hanging fruit.

Oh, you got yours!
You made sure of it.

But now you wonder why this always happens to you.
You wonder why you keep getting into these dead-end situations.

And you lay in bed late at night, unable to sleep…
“Why am I STILL not happy?”

PS. The problems in your relationship are impacting your business – actually they are tearing apart your business.
Oh?
Your business is doing well? Really? Guaranteed, you are in trouble.
You are overworking…
Running yourself down,
Avoiding the REAL work,
Not able to confront your partner, your clients, your employees…
And all of this is costing you thousands of dollars a month.

But the real issue – you’re going to lose a hell of a lot more than money… Money is just the thing you see right now. The bigger picture is your relationship – and maybe this one wasn’t supposed to work out, but you CAN HAVE A RELATIONSHIP that excites you.
The bigger picture is a business you LOVE – Totally possible for you.
The bigger picture is your life – time and freedom and feeling ALIVE again.
All of these ‘things’ you are doing isn’t to ‘get stuff’ – it’s because you wanted to FEEL ALIVE.
And the truth is…
You don’t feel alive.
It’s been so long you can’t even remember what it FEELS LIKE TO FEEL ALIVE!
