As most of you know I have been on an amazing spiritual journey over the last 8 mths & as I look back now, I see that everything that has happened was exactly meant to happen exactly the way it did. After being rocked 'n" rolled after reading several books on a similar subject base, I looked at my daily events in a different way which has now become habit forming. So I guess you could say that I have consciously changed my behaviour out of my change of beliefs about every occurances.Being a type "A" personality, somewhat obsessive compulsive, controlling & intense; it is a natural emotion & reaction for me to be persistent in my goals & visions of desire. Sometimes, even though the Universe was giving huge hits on the head to wake me up & say "this isn't it Joanna" I would persist & stubbornly move on getting more of what I had. Dissatisfying results, struggle, resistance & so on & so on.
I look back now & see that I was setting myself to get exactly what I got. I was in that place at that time to bring me exactly where I am now. Now I can look back completely passive, open-minded, aware & full of amazement that I had to experience all of that to make the decisions that brought me here.
In our Universe, there really is no failure. Each time you don;t get what you expect out of the situation, job, deal, or goal you feel or you have previously labelled that event as a "failure."
That situation had brought you to a higher level of awareness of what you will do next time, or you will have gained a certain amount of knowledge & understanding that will move you in a direction that will change the outcome of your future. Each choice you make moves you in a new direction. So, I guess what I have learned over the past 8 mths is to sit back & become an observer to be able to gain the insight it takes to understand the situation, & make choices based on what my authentic self, or higher self, or soul, or spirit, [whatever it is you want to call your inner being] - (the one who really knows what life is all about )- to guide me to my true destiny.
There is not one successful person out there that did not realize at some point that there was something that took place along their journey that just clicked. Something moved them, or seemed to carry them to where they are now. There is a path laid out for each of us - there are life lessons & insights we are all meant to experience to be able to achieve ultimate personal growth. If your life is filled with more struggle than 'flow' then you need to spend some quiet time listening to your higher self, or meditation time to allow your inner self to be heard. Your inner self knows what your passions, desires & true callings are. Anything you find immediate, & instantaneous joy, or peace in is a step in the right direction. Things that make you feel alive, full of life & energy. Pay attention to these moments, these are soul moments that are directing you & communicating to you.
Set yourself up for Success by letting go of the struggle, release it. Give yourself permission to be empty of all stress & worry. Everything will work itself out - problems are only problems if you decide they are. Success is in the everything! So set yourself up for enjoying the everything in in the every day.
You will find, (And this is written in more books than I can list) when you seem to sit back & chill out, & have faith that all will be resolved without all the drama, it usually does have a resolution that carries things forward. Maybe in a different way than you wanted or anticipated, but life went on & all is good. When you learn to sit back & observe, (As my new favorite author David Cameron, would say) you will find that you don't need to control life, just listen & create instead of reacting.
What we are here to learn is all in the experience - so let's focus on the experience rather than the monetary outcome. Meaning - "Do what drives you! Do what makes you feel alive, what makes you feel proud, joyous, in love!" This is your Soul, your Spirit, your higher Self telling you "you are on track!"
