Passion and Pleasure, Sacred Traveler Oracle

"Give yourself the permission to be happy!"

Isn't it interesting how we (in general) think we need to worry so much?!
About our current challenges and problems.
It feels almost like a competition - who struggle the most.
Like that famous sketch by Monty Python. 

Struggle has become some sign of strength?
Pushing, striving and 'fighting for our wants and needs' is awarded.

And, we somehow thing that all the struggle will lead us to joy and happiness - in the future...!

The crux is - the more we focus on, and think, struggle - the more struggle we attract.
Or, whatever we do, we somehow find struggle in it. Or at the very least something to complain about - something that would make things 'even better'.
The now is very, very seldom enough.

And if not the present now is enough, no present in the future will be enough either - as the mind is fixed on the enoughness (and happiness, and joy) is something of the future.

What about allowing ourselves to find happiness in the present?!
"You don't need to suffer to grow"
To catch ourselves every time we label or think about something as a struggle.

How we label what we do creates our experience.
Is our life a struggle and a repeating of patterns, or a journey of constant learning, growth and possibilities? 

And yes, let's give ourselves the gift of prioritizing "passion and pleasure".
"Fill your life with the people, experiences, and places that give you delight and joy. Let go of those people and things that don't appreciate or empower you."
We can love a person, AND choose not to invest time and energy in them!
