Shit does happen.
|
It is
unavoidable.
|
This is part of
life.
|
But you are the
gardener and what you do with the “shit” that happens makes all the
difference.
|
The challenges of
life simply make you grow and provide the natural friction that causes you to
evolve.
|
When shit happens in your life, you can turn
it into an opportunity and use it to fertilize the soil of your life to
grow beautiful roses.
|
Or you can go
into judgment and victimhood, which will only stink up your backyard.
|
You choose.
|
How you see a
situation will determine the reality that you experience in that moment. How
you see the situation determines how you handle it – and how you handle it
impacts your outcome.
|
Things happen in
life that you cannot predict or control.
|
But what happens
isn’t nearly as important as how you choose to experience and interpret it.
|
In this sense you
create your reality. You create the reality you choose to experience at any
given moment.
|
So why not create
a reality that empowers you?
|
Your mind’s
capacity to understand and see the totality of a situation is often limited.
|
When something
happens that makes no sense in your life, it is easy to go into fear,
judgment, anger, resistance, confusion. But this simply keeps you spinning
and does nothing to change the situation.
|
We often only see
one part of the puzzle or one scene of the movie and from this perspective
things might not make sense.
|
When Gandhi was
put in prison, rather than being angry and feeling like a victim, he asked
for some materials. Whilst in prison he made a pair of sandals.
|
When he came out
of prison, before he left he asked for the person in charge. When they met,
he presented the sandals he had made as a gift to the very man that put him
in prison. |
The man was
stunned. Gandhi’s point was powerfully made.
|
Gandhi chose to
see his situation as an opportunity to promote peace and to love more, rather
than retaliate in vengeance and anger.
|
How you deal with
the things that happen to you will determine how much freedom you experience.
|
Anyone can deal
with life when everything goes your way, but the real test is when things
don’t go the way you expect or want.
|
A pessimist sees
difficulty in opportunity. An optimist sees opportunity even in the midst of
difficulty. Choose what empowers you the most.
|
So when faced
with a challenging situation that you might not understand:
|
1-Breathe.
Connect with the present moment.
|
2-Step back from
the situation and take a look at the situation you are in from a broader
perspective.
|
3-ASK:
|
-What can I learn
in this situation? What is my lesson?
|
-How can I grow
and use this for my soul’s evolution?
|
-How will I look
back on this in the future and say it is the best thing to happen to me?
|
-What do I need
to shift in my life that is out of alignment?
|
4-Take the
actionneeded to bring yourself and the situation into balance. Do your
part.
|
5-Release and
let go of the outcome.
|
6-Trust the
intelligence of life to work out the details.
|
Life has an
intelligence that is way beyond the intelligence of our limited minds. The
more you are willing to trust that, the more free you will be.
|
No matter what
might be going on for you, use every experience you find yourself in for your
growth and learning.
|
Ultimately in the
game of life, the only thing that matters and that you get to keep is the
evolution of your Soul.
|
Everything.
Everything. Everything is in service to that. Sometimes we forget and get
caught up in the drama of life’s movie.
|
When all is said
and done and the game is over, the question becomes:
|
“How much did you
grow in this school of life?
|
How much did you
evolve and realize your true nature?
|
To the degree you
did is to the degree you were a success.
|
Imagine had
Mandela never gone to prison?
|
Imagine had Oprah
never gone through her challenging childhood?
|
So when you find
“shit” happening in your life.
|
Breathe.
|
Step back.
|
And use it to
fertilize the soil of your life.
