> **“There *is* no corner to turn!”**

😲

Such a simple, but profound observation, related to me by a client (thank you for letting me share 💝)

A philosophy to live by, even.

Because, how much of our lives do we spend with this invisible belief driving all our behaviours?

- Raising children… *it’ll be better when I’ve turned the corner.*
- Advancing through a career… *it’ll be better when I’ve turned the corner.*
- A financial situation… *it’ll be better when I’ve turned the corner.*
- Relationship difficulties… *it’ll be better when I’ve turned the corner.*
- Mental health issues… *it’ll be better when I’ve turned the corner.*
- Spiritual growth… *it’ll be better when I’ve turned the corner.*

We’re *so* focused—innocently, I must add—on tomorrow being better than today, that we don’t actually get to live life!

⌚

Tomorrow is just a thought. It’s not actually a thing.

You don’t ***ever*** get to experience it. That’s just a trick of the mind; it’s ego, dangling ‘not this’ in front of you like a carrot on a string that you’ll never reach.

Indeed, it’s this comparison with what-can-never-be (an idea of perfection) that keeps us miserable and stuck and makes reality appear—to the mind, at least—dull, when held up against this fantasy.

It’s a game you can’t win.

So next time you catch the mind wishing your life away, just remember: [*this is it*](https://www.gilespcroft.com/this-is-it/). This is what I get.

THIS—right here, right now—is life!

By all means take action (you can’t not do, really) but do it from this place of understanding. It’s got a very different feel to it.

There *is* no corner to turn.

You’re already there.
