"I Don't Want To Be
Where I Am"
How often each day (if you were to verbalize your inner reality at the moment) would you have to say, "I don't want to be where I am?" What does it feel like when you don't want to be where you are - the traffic jam, your place of work, the airport lounge, the people you are with?
It is true, of course, that some places are good places to walk out of---and sometimes that may be the most appropriate thing for you to do. In many cases, however, walking out is not an option. In all those cases, the "I don't want to be here" is not only useless but also dysfunctional. It makes you and others unhappy.
It has been said: "wherever you go, there you are. In other words: you are here. Always. Is it so hard to accept that?" (Eckhart Tolle)
