This is how I see it. The self when examined very closely is a mirage. It's like smoke. You can never really be it and can never really align with it. It's not fixed and keeps shifting. Trying to be it or arrive at it is a life with frustration always lurking in the background. It's like trying to sweep the beach
Are you arguing that it’s not worth trying to align with your ideal self? I’d def have to disagree on that part. Also we are not our self images. We’re not our thoughts or bodies. We are the formless conscious observer within our mind. That being said you’ll be a much happier human by striving to act in the way you see yourself ideally. So I’d say it’s worth sweeping off your own beach. What do you personally strive for if not your self image?
On most days I strive to align with that image of myself but on my better days I see it as the mirage it really is. When I see that then I have peace and can let go a little bit more and truly be present and enjoy life. It's days like this that help me on the days I'm striving to tune down striving and not take it too seriously and experience some inner peace
Much needed 🙏🏼
