That One Thing
Often in live, we find ourselves stuck in our longing for ‘that one thing’. That ‘one thing’ can be anything: a relationship, a job, a diploma, or anything else we want to achieve. When we are stuck in this longing, it seems like nothing else really matters. It is always there in the back of our minds, consuming our energy, often without us even being aware of it. We tell ourselves we just need to have that one thing and only then we will be happy, then we will be where we need to be. At the same time it seems very hard to achieve. No matter how hard we try, it is always just out of reach. It seems to slide through our fingers like water. We tell ourselves we need to try just a little harder or maybe in a slightly different way, and then we will be fine. At the same time we seem to beat ourselves up for not getting it. We start creating a whole story around it. Why is it so hard for me? What is wrong with me? We start comparing ourselves. Everyone else seems to have it, so why can’t I?...
