Listening To Spirit
I sometimes have a love-hate relationship with old adages, but time and time again this wisdom continues to ring true:
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
To believe that all the things that happen to us in life, no matter how senseless and horrific or beautiful and uplifting, is to believe that they are not coincidental. The key to surviving or relishing the moments, events, and even catastrophies in our lives is to recognize that in everything there is a lesson, and make it our duty to excavate it.
Life is going to happen to us; people are going to come into our lives…always for a reason…sometimes with ppl it's for a season, other times for a lifetime. As I give considerable thought to the people I’ve met, become acquainted with or experienced on some level, each person has, in some way, made a meaningful contribution to my life. There have been times when it just doesn’t seem that way at all. But then I have to take a step back, maneuver out of the emotions I may have been entangled with, and dig for the valuables that lie beneath the surface.
These are the jewels, the minerals, the resources that I can use to shape me into a better person...if I allow them to be catalysts for change that will produce greater attributes and qualities in me as I journey through life. And if I look at things in this light, it's a little easier to discard whatever negativity I might have held on to, while humbling me with gratitude.
I desire to be more open to this truth and to listen more intently to the Spirit as it moves to gently guide me...to follow its quiet insistence rather than resist it.
