Who has never felt like a dog chasing its own tail? Running around and round, working hard, trying to move forward, but not leaving the same place.
Action without results, working and investing yourself without seeing the fruits of our efforts.
It’s getting tired in vain. It’s insisting on what doesn’t flow, doesn’t move. It’s repeating the same things, expecting different results. Who has never gone through this? I’ve certainly felt that way at various moments in my life.
We tend to think that the reason is something we cannot control, or it is because the planets are not aligned, because our boss is toxic, because we are unlucky in life, because X (replace X with some other excuse)… or we project forward the solution of all our problems “I need this and this to be happy and resolve this situation”. We come up with a solution outside of us, out of our control.
To stop chasing ourselves, in circles, without leaving the same place, without entering into Burnout.
To stop repeating the same stories in our lives, with different actors, but with the same script.
The solution is not outside, but inside of us. We may not be able to change external situations, or what happens to us, but when we change our interior, the way we react to the exterior also changes. We will start seeing things from another perspective, we can have the strength and courage to take that step we’ve been putting off so much, make that change we want to make, and say to live “F%#& I’m the one in charge”.
