You don't have an ideal life.
But you do have a real life.
The more you focus on chasing the ideal, the less you allow yourself to appreciate the real.
The perfect job, the perfect partner, the perfect vacation, the perfect moment, the [fill in the blank] "ideal" doesn't exist.
If it doesn’t exist, why then do you insist on finding it?
Instead of using your mind to idealize, use your mind to alchemize.
1️⃣ The first step is to let go of fantasy and embrace reality.
2️⃣ The second step is to train yourself to choose to see the gold in everything and everyone.
To alchemize the mundane into the epic, simply commit to loving what you have instead of longing for what you lack.
If you want to transform your life, stop idealizing your life.
