Life. No one get out alive (at least in the physical sense), PLUS, most of us have to deal with challenges and contrast while we’re on this beautiful, but unstable, spinning rock in the sky. What do you do when you have a tough circumstance? How can you overcome it?
The following is a mindset shift that came to me while eating breakfast at Whole Foods this morning:
What if it’s all ok? What if everything that’s happening in this moment is exactly as it’s supposed to be, even though there is a tough or contrasting situation?
The reality is, it is often through contrast that we learn our most profound lessons. It is through our challenges that we are given the the opportunity to step into even greater clarity of what we want.
Success comes from taking the “bounce”. To illustrate what I mean, imagine stepping onto a trampoline. The further and harder you go down, the higher you will bounce back up, if you allow the down period to be your fuel to lift you up.
When we use these periods for inner reflection to focus on what we do have that we are grateful for and focus our energy on what we want, and then align our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions to come into alignment with that which we have clarified, we have now taken the bounce, and are back on the path to success.
Remember, there’s no such thing as failure, only feedback. When we can distill out the positive learnings the circumstances in our lives bring, and then let go of the negative emotions surrounding the learning, then use our energy to co-create that which we want, we are now on our way to co-creating what we want, and living a kick-ass life!
