This journey we’re on together toward alignment, is fraught with confusion, rooted in uncertainty, anxiety, and courage. We become acutely focused on identifying what and who brings us relief or suffering along the way.
I’ve been on this odyssey of sorts for nearly three years now. I am learning from some of our greatest spiritual leaders, that wisdom is born of pain. Acknowledging that offers me some reassurance that suffering is required in order to gain intelligence and to learn. Yet, both emotions are impermanent because even identifying what makes me suffer or brings me relief, provides no sturdier ground under my feet.
Ugh! How frustrating!
We get so excited when something good happens. Or when things are going right we lose sight of the fact that moments, days, or months later something bad could – and often does happen – to throw us off course.
Uncertainty rules the day. See “rooted in” in the first sentence of this post. Be mindful of that. But don’t lose your zest for discovering your inner peace. Difficult times are transforming times.
You don’t have to be contemplative every moment of the day. By all means, try to have a little fun.
I plan to have a ton of fun this weekend 🙂
More to come,
Tanya B.
