Ever feel like life is a hamster wheel? Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed or having trouble keeping up. And at some point, you wonder, “Is this all there is to life?” If you’d like to get off the hamster wheel and start living instead of existing, here’s a poignant reminder from the Universe:
There is no tomorrow because when it arrives, tomorrow becomes today.
But many moments of today are spent worrying about tomorrow, so that when tomorrow comes, you are still focused on tomorrow’s tomorrow. You have essentially set yourself up on a never-ending hamster wheel.
But what happens when the hamster stops running?
The wheel slows down until the hamster is able to step off and explore their habitat. They see what is around them. They are home.
So your goal in life isn’t to run faster.
When you do, you are chasing something that doesn’t exist because tomorrow never comes. Tomorrow becomes today. And today consists of right now.
We are not suggesting that you stop planning for the future. But we wish to point out that you may be worrying too much about tomorrow to the detriment of today.
Stop chasing. Slow down and get off the wheel. Then you will see that everything you need and want has always been there for you.
