The problem is that we tend to focus on the destination, rather than what we have to do to get there. Often, my callers express impatience when it comes to their life goals. For example, if they\u2019re in a relationship they say, \u201cI just wish he would hurry up and commit to me.\u201d They\u2019re focusing on the destination, commitment, rather than enjoying the journey of getting to the commitment. Although there is nothing wrong with wanting a committed relationship, this kind of thinking creates angst and doubt. Maybe there\u2019s a better way to look at things.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Aliza ext. 5844\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/aliza-5844.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-aliza-ext-5844\"><em><strong>Your detailed life path reading is waiting!

Once you get that commitment, then what? There is always something else that follows. Let\u2019s say you meet your soulmate and fall in love. Then what? Do you get married, have children, buy a house, retire together and spend the rest of your lives traveling for pleasure? These aren\u2019t merely destinations or benchmarks, so don\u2019t treat them as such. They\u2019re opportunities to learn life lessons and they are significant parts of your karmic journey.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t Rush<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t rush past the phases of your life. You don\u2019t want to miss the beautiful opportunities to learn deeply and appreciate the moment. You don\u2019t want to speed past opportunities to nurture relationships, forgive those who have wronged you, and to evolve into a more complete, well-rounded individual\u2014body, mind and spirit. How can you find peace and enjoy life if you are rushing through it?<\/p>\n<p><b>Be Where You Are <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Buddha said, \u201cAs you walk, and eat, and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.\u201d Life is all about being present in the here and now. Consider taking up meditation to practice being present. It will teach you how to slow down and enjoy your journey. If you can master this, you will have a well-balanced mind, body and spirit. Overall well-being will be achieved.<\/p>\n<p><b>Big Goals and Little Moments <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Having big goals and dreams is an admirable trait, and enjoying your journey doesn\u2019t mean you have to omit your biggest dreams. But you should appreciate the smaller ones just as much. You need to learn all the lessons\u2014big and small. You need to appreciate the blessings along the way\u2014big and small. Take it all in, step by step and stop and smell the roses. This is a more gentle, detailed, grateful approach toward living.<\/p>\n<p><b>Patience and Appreciation <\/b><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re quite old, will you say, \u201cGee, I wish I worked more hours.\u201d? Or will you say, \u201cI\u2019ve seen some beautiful sunsets, kissed my loved ones often and told my children I love them.\u201d? Approach your life as if every second is a gift from the Universe\u2014because it is. Don\u2019t take time for granted because one day you\u2019ll run out of it. Your journey is meant to be fulfilling, but only if you approach your life with patience and appreciation.<\/p>\n<p>Namaste.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Aliza ext. 5844\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/aliza-5844.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-aliza-ext-5844\"><strong>Psychic Aliza ext. 5844<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You want what you want as soon as possible.
