If our goal is to reach the top of the mountain, we have to be conscious that it is not an easy task to accomplish, mainly if we have to face a harsh, unfair, and difficult environment during the journey. Achieving peace of mind works in a similar way, and it is impermanent as the number of times we decide to enrol in the journey of climbing a mountain. Sometimes we have to face harsh, difficult, and unfair situations in order to cope with obnoxious behaviours we have no possibility to run away from. In those moments, the more we cultivate the love nature we have within, generating kindness and compassion from the inside out, the easier will be dealing with any situation, no matter the circumstances.
Expressing kindness and compassion in our attitudes does not mean that we have to accept anything life presents to us. It is more than that. We have to understand every situation we are inserted into in order to recognise how we could enhance the self, no matter the peaceful state of mind we have already achieved. Living our life, mainly when we are facing a challenging situation, is an impermanent journey, where we have no certainty about what happens next. We just need to be in the present moment, acquiring as much knowledge as we can to continue walking our own path.
Each one of us has a singular and unique path to follow, and sometimes it is our capability of facing the unknown that dictates the size and length of the challenge that we are facing in the present moment. We may think: is it fair? It may be, and it may not. It always depends on the perspective we look at the situation. We may find out that the posed challenge has opened our third eye to see things we have had no power to see a moment before. We may realise that…right here, right now…knowledge fills our brain to recognise similar situations we have already experienced in the past.
We like to be relaxed and surrounded by a vicinity where every good intention we have within could be manifested through positive vibrations, and joyful moments. And to be able to get into those moments we need our consciousness when facing darkness all along.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
