If you can embrace the discomfort of the moments where what you were trying to force to happen is simply not happening, and learn the lesson you are being taught through that experience, you can begin to accelerate through life again.
We slow ourselves down when we do this constant resisting-and-pushing-AGAINST-life thing, wishing things were different, thinking we Know better about what is supposed to be happening, and trying to force a timeline that simply does not want to happen, to come to life.
I recently wrote about how to notice when you are trying to force life to act a certain way that you may want, but perhaps it does not want. And how to shift into a state of flow, instead. You can read that essay here.
Next up, we are getting into how to always experience your life as a perfect, continuous unfolding of exactly what is meant to be.
What if it was all working out, exactly as it was meant to?
What if there was nothing wrong with what you are experiencing?
Even if it’s painful, even if you wish it was different, even if it’s not going the way you pictured it would…
THIS is the very confronting and uncomfortable magic of ACTUALLY moving through life with grace. People think that being spiritual or being “in tune with life” is about what happens on a yoga mat, or about what happens when you release all attachments and float through life “without an ego”…. but the ultimate spiritual practice (or, the ultimate test of your spiritual practice) is to be deeply engaged with your life, accepting what is happening and moving THROUGH it without resistance (i.e. in harmony), with + a willingness to receive and learn what life is teaching you… while also finding the right moments and opportunities to strategically exert your will and take aligned action that helps life accelerate FOR and WITH you. (I like long sentences, if you’re new here.)
