we don't have to do things the hard way. even in the community of awakening people it has been the thought that it was necessary. not that we can't gain experience knowledge and empathy and all kinds of qualities and enhancements without roughing ourselves up.
the big surprise is, if you hadn't already noticed, is it doesn't have to be so hard.
i take it as fact that we create our own reality. to me it's as simple as, one person is a bummer to be around and another one is so much fun. to me that constitutes creating the very thing.
y'know, there's magic in the world and believe in it or not , it's all around us. ever said, i just have this feeling that, this that and the other? or been thinking of someone and they call? if not i bet you've heard of it before. that's what i mean and the more you believe, or can give space to the possibility, the more evidence of it there will be.
that being said, i encounter challenges a lot. but joys probably more. the challenges seem to suck all the oxygen from the room. at least it's not a useless experience. the situations are great for honing the social speaking skills.
the way i've been meeting them has had an effect on the tone of my life. i let them make me upset and dramatic, and i must have needed that, but i have found a better way of dealing with the bumps in the road that come along.
i know your attitude can make or break a situation and the focus for me going forward is to be done with meeting the bumps in the road in that way. there's no need to keep making it hard for myself, or anyone else for that matter. it's not like there hasn't been an abundance of times that things have gone just fine too.
anyone else finding themselves on platforms' support line calls multiple times in a week? wink.
