To live well is natural for humans from our society, different than what movies and television series may show. We all want to have a place in which we feel safe, peace of mind and we want to be surrounded by people who give us the sensation of protection.
Paradoxically,
our society stimulates us to leave our comfort zone and it encourages us to
DARE, to live life as an adventure: check the movies! Check the TV series!
So, how to
balance both ideas? Do we really need a challenge right now? Should we stay in
our comfort zone eating popcorns while watching something?
In fact,
both things are not exclusive – to want to live well and comfortable, and to
want to live as an adventurer – and they can be easily complementary.
First of
all, focus on your inner side, that space inside your mind… and feel the peace
that is there. It is yours. It is you. Going there is a very special adventure…
Second,
challenge the things that don’t contribute to that peace – watching movies, TV
series, popcorn. That is the real daring, because even though they give you the
sensation of external peace, as soon as they are over, that peace goes away
too. Challenge them and start an innovation in your life by meditating, studying
something that enriches you or learning some wonderful new skill.
Then it is
possible you feel a wave of boredom, after all you have had a habit. Just
remember: you have that inner space, full of peace, just inside you. Think of
it and you will be there… Much better than a watch party!
