The Places We Journey
In life, most of us want stuff we’ve pictured in our heads. We got plans and ideas, some of them straight from the big guy upstairs, that we wanna see happen. We wanna be happy, successful, and healthy, which is all normal and human. So, when life throws us curveballs that we didn’t sign up for, it can feel like something went sideways or like we messed up somewhere along the way.
In real life, sometimes things happen that we don’t always understand. It’s like life has a plan for us, and these tough times are meant to help us grow and learn. It’s like life is saying, “Hey, wake up and pay attention! There’s something deeper going on here.” These challenges are meant to show us what we’re made of and make our lives more meaningful.
Often, it takes a big event to shake us up and make us realize that the ego isn’t really in control. Losing control can be humbling and help us see the bigger picture. It reminds us that there’s a lot we don’t know about the universe, and what we do know is just a tiny part of the big mystery we’re all a part of.
This mindfulness stuff makes us less tense and more easygoing because it helps us let go of our stubbornness and accept things as they are. Another cool thing about going through tough times is that we get to see all the old issues and emotional baggage that are blocking us from feeling happy. Happiness is always there inside us, whether things are going our way or not. Even when we’re feeling down, we can still believe that we can find happiness if we’re willing to accept the situation and work through it.
Picture this: you’re like a character from a fairy tale, lost in the middle of a gloomy forest, feeling scared and all alone. But here’s the thing, that journey through the dark woods, as gloomy as it may seem, has its unique beauty and depth. It’s like a transformative experience. When you come out on the other side, you’ll be a whole new person—lighter, brighter, bolder, and more confident for having faced that darkness.
Peace & Harmony, Cheryl
