Right, so Singer just explained (YouTube: Stay Committed to Higher Goal) why our entire life is a mess and it's chillingly hilarious...you know how you set out to do something simple... like check email, and somehow four hours later you're watching YouTube videos about why dolphins are psychic?! Yeah, that 🙄
Singer's like: "you want to walk to the store. There's someone being a proper tosser blocking the sidewalk.
Do you:
A) Walk around them
B) Stop everything to prove you have equal sidewalk rights?"
And we ALL pick B. Every. Fohking. Bloody. Time.
Oi, so here's the thing... you're not failing because life is hard. You're flailing because you keep taking your beautiful, clear, rocket fuel and using it to argue with reality instead of, ya know: GOING WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
The best bit?
He says relationships are "so easy."
I nearly choked.
But then he explains...you say your goal is a happy, loving relationship. Then your partner says something that gnaws you and suddenly your goal becomes BEING 'RIGHT.' You'll spend the next hour proving your point, laying scars on each other, all because you're terrified that if you don't win THIS argument, you'll never get your way again. Meanwhile, your actual goal: remember that happy relationship thing? ... is sobbing in the corner while you wage war over who forgot to buy milk.
Singer's savage about it too. He's like, "Oh, you fell in love and now you want to set your life goals? TERRIBLE IDEA. You hate someone and want to plan your future? EVEN WORSE." Apparently we're only allowed to set goals during those rare moments when we actually remember we're "souls in bodies on a rock spinning through infinite space." You know, Tuesday mornings after coffee but before checking emails.
Cue the wicked kicker: even if you manage to set a proper goal during one of these clarity moments, Singer says most people remember it "about three times a year." THREE TIMES A YEAR?!?!?😳 What. The?!?!?
So he gives us this stupidly simple hack: every time you walk through a door, remember your purpose. Any door. Car door, bathroom door, office door. Just pause and remember why you're actually here. Not in the door frame... here on the 🌍. And he KNOWS you'll be embarrassed to pause. He knows that little voice will chirp: "But people will think I'm weird!" And he's like... WAS IMPRESSING RANDOM HUMANS YOUR LIFE PURPOSE? Because if so, enjoy being miserable forevah!
The whole thing is basically Singer saying: stop using your life force to fight with the nature of things. Snakes bite. Obstinate people obstinate. Your partner will sometimes (always) annoy you. The weather won't always cooperate. You can either waste all your energy trying to "turn snakes into puppies," or you can remember you're just trying to check emails (insert whatever you're doing) and just walk around the obstacles.
Every time you fight with what IS, you're voting for chaos.
Every time you remember your actual purpose, you're voting for clarity ... for internal greatness.
And apparently, if you can just remember this every time you walk through a door, you'll start glowing like a human lighthouse and people will literally be "raised" just by being near you.
No pressure though.
The funniest bit?
He promises if you do this, you'll "never have another 'problem' for the rest of your life" (can you even imagine?!!) 🤯🧘🏻♀️
Not because problems stop existing, but because you'll stop making everything that happens I N T O a 'problem'
Reminder: our goal isn't to change all snakes into puppies.
Goal is whatever you decided it was during that rare moment when you remembered you're a soul on a spinning rock.
Everything else?
Just weather to walk through while you head where you're actually going.
Right then... off to practice pausing at doors without looking like a complete nutter...✨ 🙄✨
