FOMO, Faith, and Finding My Way Back to Now
When your goals feel so close and so far, stay present.
Today, I caught myself dealing with a different kind of FOMO.
It wasn’t the usual comparison trap of looking at other people’s lives. I’ve learned that lesson already—how we’re all unique beings, each on our own journeys through time and space. There’s no real way to compare yourself to someone else. No way to measure success when no one but you can define it.
But what I do still wrestle with sometimes is self-comparison.
The version of FOMO I give myself.
That creeping feeling that I’m not where “I” want to be yet—even though, deep down, I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Right here. Right now. In this space. In this moment. On this piece of the timeline God has mapped out for me.
As I’ve been re-reading Living Untethered by Michael Singer, I’m being reminded to stay in awe of God’s creation. To actually see what’s unfolding in front of me, instead of worrying about what hasn’t arrived yet.
Today, in one of those quiet nudges, God whispered:
When your goals are so close and so far, there’s nothing else to do but stay present.
Amen.
I hear You.
I’ll remain here, in this breath, in this step.
Thank You, Gus, for the beautiful reminder.
It’s always about the journey anyway.
Stop tripping, D. (lol)
