What moment are you in?
It’s funny how we often escape the discomfort of the present by imagining a better future. When life feels painful or unfulfilling, the mind, operating in time, creates fantasies about how things will improve—better relationships, more success, or greater comfort. While this seems harmless, it actually keeps us stuck. By focusing on a future that doesn’t exist, we avoid the present, which is the only place where real change is possible.
The story of the rock illustrates this point. A rock, incapable of thought or action, might “imagine” becoming a tree to escape its lowly position in the forest. But no matter how much it “dreams,” it will always remain a rock because it lacks the awareness or ability to change. Similarly, when humans operate mechanically—reacting to life instead of consciously engaging with it and being proactive—they remain stuck in patterns that prevent true transformation. This is the essence of a “rockhead.”
Unlike a rock, humans have the potential for awareness, which is the key to growth. The secret lies in understanding that real change doesn’t come from dreaming about a different future or resisting the present, but from aligning with our True Self. By focusing on gratitude, compassion, and clarity in the now, we stop feeding the illusions of the thought-self. This shift in awareness allows us to influence our lives intentionally, creating genuine fulfillment instead of chasing empty dreams. True transformation begins when we fully embrace and work within the present moment.
If this reached you or there was something that truly resonated with you, please like and share in hopes this will maybe reach someone that it could help.
