When you trust that there is some path you are on or some unforeseen
unfolding to your life, you can live with more peace and purpose.
Ok so I am not so sure Billy Joel below is talking about anything more
than
the struggles of learning to trust in a romantic relationship, but I
like the words in the context of aligning yourself with the way that
brings more inner peace.
You can't go the
distance With too much resistance I know you have doubts But for God's sake don't shut me out (Billy Joel)
It might strike you as strange if you were to become aware how often
you deny this moment. It is as if you are constantly trying to improve
the situation by getting somewhere other than right here and now.
I say strange because as you grow in awareness it not only seems
fruitless to wish things were different, but it seems ridiculous to
ever think that there is somewhere else to get or something to change.
Sure you may desire some change but that will happen when and if the
circumstances are aligned with that change. You can't make the change
happen but you can sure accept and trust this moment, wherever you are.
That is what I like about the video of Jason
and his story. He comes across as aligning himself with the principle
that he can hold a dream or a desire but he is going to accept his life
as he finds it in each moment. Not only accept it but also excel and be
enthusiastic at it like he was as the team manager.
That is to say he seems to not create suffering for himself.
If he desperately wanted things to be different and wanted to be a
starting member of the team every week then is life would be misery
wouldn't it? He would constantly be wishing things were different than
the way they were.
That doesn't stop him from dreaming of things being different but he
comes across on the video as making the distinction between what is now
and what is just his wishing.
Wherever
you find yourself is the place you need to fully fill before life will
move you on. By that I mean completely accepting your reality and
acknowledging it
is that way now. Jump into your fate with both feet.
Anything else will keep you suffering and stuck.
When you let go of wanting to be somewhere else or wanting to be
someone else you will experience a shift. The days of spending every
waking moment wishing things were different will be replaced by peace
and appropriate action.
Who are you to say what is right and wrong or should not be happening?
You don't even know why you are here, who you are, how you got here,
where you go after this life but still you try and control the way
things are.
To sit back and trust that everything is as it is and to trust that
which is bigger than you, which you are obviously a part of, is to
align with a peaceful, humble way of life.
It is very humbling to give up control and to stop trying to change
this moment with effort.
You can acknowledge this moment, identify what you would like to
experience differently and then seek to change the circumstances that
will allow you to experience the difference.
Seek without strain, without effort, with trust and with faith.
Even as you strive to improve some area of your life, still there
remains trust and faith that all is in order.
Who are you to say things are not as they should be?
Chuck Spezzano in his book If it Hurts it isn't Love says, "The highest
level of success is something we flow with, not something that is
planned. We do not control the wave when we are surfing...we go with
the flow of it and to the extent we do, we become successful".
