The Liberating Truth: Life Is Gloriously Limited
Have you ever felt like you're constantly running on a treadmill that keeps speeding up, no matter how fast you go? That relentless pace of modern life leaves many of us perpetually behind, anxiously chasing the fantasy of "getting on top of things" so real life can finally begin. But what if the solution isn't working harder or becoming more productive? What if it's accepting our fundamental limitations as humans? The most freeing step you can take is accepting that life is worse than you think-completely beyond hope. When you finally grasp that your idealized life will definitely never come to fruition, something inside unclenches. It's like getting caught in a rainstorm and finally abandoning efforts to stay dry-there's a profound relief in surrender. With finite time and unlimited possibilities, you'll only ever accomplish a fraction of what you'd like to do. Once you truly accept this, anxiety subsides and willingness emerges to engage with what you actually can do. Your perfectionism will never be conquered, your imposter syndrome will never fully disappear, and your relationship troubles won't magically resolve themselves. All are worse than you think-and that's liberating.
