First and foremost, it is INSANE to me how this ONE aspect of our lives can carry so much weight. Who the f does ~LOVE~ even think she is to pop in, say a quick yet deeply romantic hello, sweep us off our feet, and then leave, entirely unannounced, throwing us off our rockers because it made us lose our grounding in the first place??? How can that possibly be fair??
To that I say, who ever said life is fair?
Well, is it fair?? Call it the optimist in me, but I say it may or may not be and all comes down to this one thing…
I’ve been on this new binge (and no, this isn’t about TV shows– although I’ve been into “The Assassin” lately). It’s the far lamer concept of perception-taking. I truly believe this one skill is the key that unlocks the door leading us from our old life to our new life, with the “only” difference being that we have this newfound source of power allowing us to regain control over our lives. Life unfair to ya? Well, try this: throw the word “unfair” out of your dictionary. Reach into your perception-taking sorting hat and pull out a replacement. Here’s the revised version you end up with: “Life has been replete with challenges I am overcoming but it’s all guiding me to the place I truly belong.”
It seems cheesy and stupid but when we think of life as being rigged in our favor (and who says it isn’t??) the obvious path forward, which has always been right in front of our eyes but we were somehow missing the whole time, becomes clearer than ever.
