If you want to have experiences like the people who live the way you want, you must practice experiencing life like that.
Practice ways of thinking.
Practice ways of feeling.
Practice ways of behaving.
Break your own patterns, adopt new ones, and double down on the felt experiences you want.
You have to get good at seeing.
At listening.
At noticing the ways they are,
and the ways you've been...
But ultimately, their experience is not your experience.
Even if you can put yourself directly in their shoes and feel as if it was you living that same moment...it's not your experience.
You have to practice
your way of thinking;
your way of feeling;
your way of behaving.
You have to get all the strands of possible experience and weave them in to a new fabric of YOUR experience.
And experience it you must.
You must recall the moments when you felt it before,
and be open to new moments.
You must shake the snow globe.
And if needed, you must instigate an avalanche.
Then listen.
What does your heart say?
Her voice is ethereal, so be patient. The serenity, calmness, and peace that comes as the snow settles is when she speaks.
So be quiet for as long as it takes for you to hear...
And then follow through!
Break your patterns for good; dive into a familiar unknown with the faith that you will resurface with a smile on your face.
Double down on the felt experiences you really want.
How? What?
There are more choices than stars, but you are the one who must experience it.
There is no other choice.
