During each of our journey on this planet, we often have to confront
AND deal with deeds
AND actions that @ the time they were born, made our lives a
LIVING hell. However, I am of the opinion that those
person(s) are
NOTHING more than
human angels, individuals designated by the universe to show us that we have choices and if their actions affect us in a negative manner then we can
ONLY grow from it. As I reflect on my past I see how frustrated
AND confusing, not to mention maddening my life was due to those that were a part of it.
MANY days I was angry because I felt like I had
NO one in my corner; but as I think about things I am
GLAD that the first man that I dated was
SO crazy
and possessive. Though he
NEVER hurt or intimidate me, I can say that he kept me from dating
OR experiencing life with the scores of
GAY men that came sniffing my way. From a deeper divine perspective, dealing with the things he did were an important teacher
AND indicator that I am making progress on my path. Being able to remain centered and awake even when he made my life uncomfortable is much more impressive and made me the man I am today. I could very
EASILY sit here and fume about the past, but that would mean that I haven’t grown. However behaving is such a manner diminishes the blessings that are bestowed upon life today. Hence I find that the more we try to eliminate annoyances, instead of being
THANKFUL for them, the further we get from developing the qualities that come with spiritual growth, such as patience, tolerance
AND acceptance. It is often in the presence of people and experiences we find annoying that we have an opportunity to develop these qualities. Fortunately for most of us, our lives offer an abundance of opportunities to practice and cultivate these traits. I find that it is
SO easy for us to take the curse
AND leave the blessings behind. It is
VITALLY important for us to acknowledge their input be it good
OR bad and do away with that cosmic void that exists in our lives. The journey of life is a spiritual event that mostly finds us trying to figure out the whats
AND whys. And we live thinking that
NO one is coming to the rescue, when in fact someone indeed has. If only we could
STOP panicking and realize that the bad things happened because we needed to see that life is
SO much more than we live…A
ND IT IS ONLY THEN WE CAN BE ABLE TO FLOAT WITH A KIND OF SLOW-MOTION KNOWING THAT WE ARE MEANT FOR SO MUCH MORE. THIS SLOW BLUE KIND OF BALLET LIFE HAS US DANCING TO, FEELS LIKE A BETRAYAL AS THE GOOD TIMES ARE SNATCHED AWAY FROM US. & NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE TRY TO CONTROL OUR CIRCUMSTANCES, THE FACTORS & PEOPLE CANNOT BE MANAGED. EVEN THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE THE GIFT IN SOMEONE/SOMETHING INTERRUPTING OUR LIVES, IT PAYS TO BE THANKFUL THAT THEY DID…
