How will you know what you are capable of
if you don't open yourself to life's mysteries,
or usher in the new?
---Deepak Chopra---
Why is God Laughing?!
It's always easier said than done. No matter what or how many books you read, or how much inspirational videos you watch, it all comes down to the same answer. You have to live as a spiritual being borrowing body in this physical realm. What we think, we attract. There're time delay, thank goodness for that. Imagine if we think negative things and that happens right away!? No thank you... Also, thank goodness that our positive energy is stronger than our negative energy. It's so much more stronger.
Everybody has good days and bad days. One day you feel like you're invincible and the next day you feel like you're at the bottom of the bottom, everything is just falling down on you over and over. And we repeat that. Some days are better than the other. We're all human. It's only natural. And we're all afraid of "Not knowing", "Not in control". But what if we're not in control to begin with!?
As we get older, we learn things and we expect certain result from certain action/event. And we predict, plan, and act accordingly. Trains run, classes start, meetings start ACCORDING to the schedule. But does it all happen exactly as you planed?! No. Accident might happen. Your teacher might be late. Your client might be late. And those are just minor issues that we're capable of adjusting. But LIFE?! That'a whole new story. You plan you'll have this job and this position by certain age. You plan you'll get married, have kids and have a house by certain age. You plan you'll have this much income by that age... so on and so on... We plan things based on our expectations. And some people do make it happen. most us probably won't. Does that mean we are failure?! NO? Our plans, goals, circumstances change ALL THE TIME! And we all react differently. We have ability to adapt, learn, and create. What we must know is that at the end of the day, everything will work out. Maybe not the way you planed it out, but it all works out for the best. You'll probably end up better than you planed in the first place anyway. Being able to surrender and let go of the control is the essential elements of our life. If you are in the not so great place right now, it might be difficult. You probably worry about tomorrow. You probably worry about the finances, or job, or your health. And when you're in that situation, it's so hard to find what you can appreciate in your life. It seems like everything is just falling apart. People around you might tell you that "But be glad that you're still alive!". And you might think "I'd rather not, so I don't have to worry any more." Please, don't forget you're not alone. You don't have to do it all by yourself. Someone is going to be there for you, maybe someone you know, maybe a stranger. But somebody will be there for you. God will provide you. If nothing else worked, might as well try anything, right? We're not in control of the outcome of our life anyway. We're in charge of our actions, but not the outcome. It's scary to be in unknown. But like Deepak said in this book, how can you know?!
We're all spiritual beings. I just wish you the best. Being able to surrender, let go of your ego, those are not easy task. But we're all capable of doing that. Maybe I can't be there for you. Maybe I can't do anything directly to make your situation better. Maybe you don't even know I exist. But I pray for all of you. I pray that each and every one of you will achieve that spiritual freedom and place of pure love one day and come to the realization that GOD is laughing, because there's nothing else but to laugh. Because this Universe is a place of Love.
Love,
