I really like to compare life to driving on a highway. Here you are driving, driving, changing lanes, turning at intersections, then waiting at traffic lights, then flying almost supersonic on the autobahn. Do you think that in such a situation it is reasonable to turn your head to the left (or right) and stare at the asphalt flying below. I think it will almost certainly lead to an accident unless the good road gods intervene. You eat where you look. You live where you look. But, if, while sitting behind the wheel, you can clearly see (and even then not always) the road rushing into the distance, then what about moving in time? You can’t see the future in this way; for this, our consciousness is a little short of one dimension. And yet it is possible. Our sense of the future will help us with this. Each of us has a certain feeling, a general sense of the future. And if it tells us OK, then we are moving in more or less the right direction. And if not? A feeling of trouble, some kind of hopelessness is creeping in. Reluctance to do something, to cope somehow. Why? Are we moving in the wrong direction? We don’t live there? Well, why not? Where does the journey through temporal probabilities begin? With one simple word. From one and only one thing. From a goal. And if the goal is not ours, or it is not there at all, then confusion and vacillation begins, depression emerges from somewhere, which very often is a symptom of a loss of meaning (direction in life). It seems that you can set any of the goals, but they are all somehow... not the same. It seems that the neighbor has finished building his house and is glad that he is getting out of town, but we can’t even envy him. And before we were happy with this and that, but now it’s even unpleasant. What to do? Well, first of all, no one said that the goal is forever. We have reached the point we need, is it really possible to hang around there for an eternity? No. We got there, we did it, move on. And what we had previously tried so furiously to achieve has become commonplace. Secondly, without self-understanding you cannot set your goals. What do we really need? Is this exactly what we need? How does this resonate within us? Do we need to make an effort to get a response? Then, most likely, it’s not ours at all. Thirdly, finding your own direction is still work. Even just sitting on the bed and going through the options in your mind is already work. If we don’t invest, we won’t receive. And when we go through all this, turn onto our own road and deeply breathe in the air of freedom, then our general sense of the future changes. And the future itself is changing too.
