FEAR OF MISSING OUT

When we stare at uncertainty, typically fear
comes up. We just don’t know what’s going to
happen. Good stuff maybe? Or bad stuff? A lot of
folks tend to think that only bad stuff is going to
happen in the unknown, (especially me) they stay in their
comfort zone.
One of the main ailments everybody is suffering
from is a disease known as F.O.M.O…( I have read it from a link.)
It’s
rampant, pervasive and a dream killer. F.O.M.O., if
it dominates your system, WILL prevent you from
living your best life at your highest potential.
SO – what is this disease, this dream killer called
F.O.M.O.?
You may have guessed it, or maybe not. But here it
is.
"Fear of
Missing
O ut"
F.O.M.O. says that wherever we are isn’t the right
place and that something, somewhere outside of
ourselves is bigger, better and shinier. Some place,
other than where you are right now, is where you
are “supposed” to be.
I shouldn’t be HERE, I SHOULD be THERE.
F.O.M.O. is another way of SHOULDING all over
ourselves.

Einstein once said that we have a choice, “Either
EVERYTHING is a miracle or NOTHING is a
miracle,”
I deduce that from the very
small point of view of being human, we don’t have
the intelligence
available to us to truly interpret events as “bad”
or “good.” We can either see EVERYTHING as a
miracle or NOTHING as a miracle.

Wherever you ARE is PERFECT. You have been
GUIDED there. And wherever you think you need
to be is an illusion. The present moment, where you
are, what you are doing is PERFECT and
MIRACULOUS.
Miracles, like Grace, can be wonderful – or they
can be a kick you in the teeth (in the moment).
But in the long run, from the MACRO point of view,
we will see why things had to be the way that they
are and were.
If you choose to see EVERYTHING as a miracle,
then where you are right now is perfect. There is
nowhere to run to; there is nothing else to do
except be in this moment and allow what is to be.
From that place of radical acceptance, MAJOR
change can happen. The first step in any
transformational experience is acceptance and
surrender to the present moment the way it is.
From that place we have the awareness, humility
and POWER to change what is.

You might have F.O.M.O. – but if this moment is a
miracle, there is nothing to chase or run away to,

if this is IT… then what would life be trying to
show you? What are you learning? Where is the
miracle in this moment? If you have been guided
to where you are RIGHT NOW, where is the
miracle?

Don't live in F.O.M.O..!!
