Now before you carry on reading this I urge you to put aside your religious, spiritual or non beliefs for however long its going to take you to read this post, because I want you to basically close your eyes and open your mind. I am asking you to put down whatever wall you and the world has put up all your life.
The most stupid question is - why is this happening to me- especially when its not going your way. Regrets is something I also find a complete waste of time. We need to remember that the world, its people and its things will forever work together in perfect harmony. Its just like this global warming thing, its happening, whether we stop it or not...the world will continue to move. Lets say you late for a meeting, chances are something in this crazy life will happen in-between all that. Life doesn't see you as late, rather you were meant to bump in to that old friend that might eventually end up being your wife. Yes I am crazy and maybe a tad unrealistic (whatever reality is to you) but at the back of your mind you know I have a point. Life intended for life to live out a certain way.There are no mistakes. No regrets.
Im not saying you should accept whatever negative thing that happens to you, I'm saying turn all that into a positive opportunity. There is gaining and not losing in life.
A favourite author of mine Neale Donald Welch said these inspiring words...
Did you know that Life is conspiring in your favor.
It may not always look that way, but it is, I assure you.
Everything that is happening, is happening just the way it must,
in order for you to have the opportunity to create the experience of your Self for which you yearn.
The idea behind all of this is to give you a chance to
become and to know, at the highest level, Who You
Really Are.
So keep on.
JOY AND PAIN ARE PART OF LOVE AND LIFE.Embrace it all because you know what...EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON and for the better...always. Life is always working on your side, never against you.
There are certain elements of this philosophy that I whole-heartedly agree with. We cannot control what occurs to us and around us. But we can pretty much control--or at the least influence--how we react to it. There are many times that we should just pause and think before we react. Or just attempt to switch our viewpoint. I love this entry. Please continue.
ReplyDeleteRomans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
In the end, God is in control. Our reaction is more important and pivotal than whatever happened to create it. What seems terrible, negative, or even catastrophic can at times be that very variable to launch you into your destiny or into a much better life.
I love that you get me
