Fear of Missing Out

Life is not something you can miss out on, but it can miss out on you. Even though your life is not over there where you want it to be, it won’t be right here either unless you stop imaging elsewhere. Missing out in life isn’t the result of not experiencing some specific part of it, it’s what happens when you’re not present in any of it.

A person who once meant a lot to me taught me this lesson:
Be where you are.

Excellent insights , my friend.

Choose what you water - wisely.

Time is a resource that is not unlimited.

@CookieCrumbs I wasted much of my time watering my fake grass. I confused it’s easy and convenient luster for an ideal of living. Back then I didn’t realize that the challenge and responsibility of actual grass was far more rewarding.

@CookieCrumbs

Choose what you water - wisely.

Especially if you have a really full bladder😯

Wise words…. Being present in the moments of life and staying aware of yourself in those moments …

@Soossie Practicing the present moment at least for me has always been something I must work on every single day. It involves maintaining that connection with yourself which in my experience is one of the easiest things to lose in life.

@fakable Many things work in very specified ways if you simply believe them to.

@Lyfis2live Yes, but not everyone is calm. Those who are have proved their home in more than just definitions.

@Reject Most often, the dumb in me reread your words more than once to extract the message. I might retry. Later.

So very true words. Those that try not to live in the here and now are missing out on so much.

I’ve never had the fear of missing out.

Sometimes it misses out on the good ones because the bad ones are making all the noise’

Precious things lay hidden … your loss ~ Life’ Dreams already beat ya to it.

Reject · 26-30, M

@SW-User True, one must be careful of the bad ones influence. They would have you believing happiness is anything they can put a price on. You’ll find an ad just about anywhere as their purpose is to be noisy.

Indeed, life dreams are so precious to us because they cover up the place we’re meant to find fulfillment advertising themselves as our means to it.
