Stop chasing yourself

Worse is a man who is always chasing some ideal of a perfect self and missing the joy and wonder of experiencing the truth of himself.

I've realized lately how many times I've heard people going on about how they are going to do this when this happens and do that when that comes through. We all do. We chase. We chase ourselves and this imagined person who we think we should be yet everyday walk right past who we are in all it's joy and pain. All the beauty and ugliness of who we are.
I have a suggestion. Stop chasing yourself. Who you are right now is all you need to be. If you want to be something else know that you can become that vision but don't let the process of becoming that vision make you miss the joy of this moment.

Take a minute. Breathe in this moment. This moment once it's gone will never be again and that is worth celebrating.
