Stop at the Top

In certain circles it’s said that, “The bottom is wherever you stop digging.”  I’d like to add that the top is wherever I stop piling on and striving.  For so long I played the game of, “If I get this, then I’ll be able to feel how I want to feel — relaxed, accomplished, satisfied, loved.”  Recently it’s become clear that feeling the way I want to feel more of the time requires a totally different focus from the one I thought it did, and is a whole lot simpler than I thought it was.  I’m gonna keep going.
