We have to walk our path. There's absolutely no way to get out of it.
So why resent it? Why grumble about it? Why fear it?
These reactions are normal to being human. They are based entirely on the contents of your unconscious, or "reactive" mind.
These are the things you deal with every time you light a candle and meditate, looking inward to those darkened recesses of your mind, confronting your demons and winning, regaining much needed CONTROL over your thoughts, your emotions, your life.
But what if that control is an illusion?
The more you clean out your own space and gain the ability to control more and more of your life, the more you'll understand the paradox at play: The best way to achieve what you truly want is to stop trying to control it.
Imagine if you lived your life without trying to control anything, and simply took everything that happened without question, living in the moment, one day at a time, grateful for every day and for all the blessings in your life. What do you think would happen?
You attract what you put your attention on.
Always thinking of "how broke you are" or "how lonely you are" or any other continuous life problem? Wonder why your life is a mirror of your thoughts (NOT the other way around)? (read this paragraph again)
Now imagine if your thoughts were on your blessings, and everything that happened, happened for a reason. Some events are there to teach you, some are there to guide you, and some are there to remind you of your own personal worth.
I'll leave it to you to determine which is which.
The path of healing is not walked in a day. And sometimes it doubles back to show you something you might have missed the last time around. Sometimes it's a casual stroll down a sun dappled forest path. Sometimes it's a swan dive into a blackened abyss with nothing but your faith to cling to.
But if you keep your heart and mind open, it won't take long to see, no matter what the Universe throws at you, it's there to teach you, guide you, or remind you of your own personal worth.
And with every step you take on your path, that path you absolutely must walk, a trust will develop - in life, in the Universe, in YOURSELF.
And as that trust develops, you'll begin to understand, the best way to achieve what you truly want is to stop trying to control it.
