Why do these things happen when you live a good life and trying to mind your own business?
Things like the death of a loved one or people going to war sometimes make us think that am entity like God would never create this.
Looking back on my own life, the fact that I have survived a lot of psychological and emotional abuse has grown me into another person. Without the harshness and my insanity, I would have never been able to navigate it. After I navigate such things, I can show others how to escape the crazy cycle.
Remember when I talked about energy exchange?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This goes for emotions and events in your life. It's just a matter of harnessing it to your advantage. I say it like this to the Christian crowd; you are doing something right if you get attacked by Satan. You are becoming a threat by doing right, and he is livid that your destiny is about to be fulfilled. To the energy peeps out there who don't take things like that, sometimes life gives you a pile of crap.
You do know there are uses for crap, right? Unlike lemons and lemonade, you can turn your crappy experiences into fertilizer for your life.
The power of logic over emotion needs to preside here. Instead of screaming in self-loathing and annoyance at the hand dealt to you, look at the other people at the table. Ask yourself why they did it. Ask yourself what you did in order to set these events in motion. Feel gratitude for what you do have rather than what happened to you, then the logic can set in.
If it was you, don't do it again. Look at yourself in the mirror and accept the part you had to play in your misery. Once that is done, you will be able to accept the wisdom you received and share it with others who struggle.
Other people's part in the matter may not allow them to learn, but learning about others as well as yourself is what allows for growth.
What science doesn't tell you is that "reaction" can be manipulated. Striking a match creates a flame. Whether you light a candle or a stick of dynamite is up to you. When we get upset and critically wounded in our hearts, we often reach for the dynamite first. Something as grievous as a death in the family, or a separation will kick you in the spiritual shins and leave you down for awhile. Sometimes staying down for a bit is a good thing. Treating a broken heart like a broken leg and letting yourself rest while it heals is a good thing. It helps you get all of your emotion poison out. The kicker is getting back up and walking normally after you have it healed.
The similarity between a broken heart and a broken leg is that the larger the damage, the more likely you are to never walk the same way again.
Sometimes this can work in your favor and allow you to tread terrains that you weren't able to before. Remember that every time a bone breaks and heals, it becomes harder and stronger. It is also the main reason that it needs to heal correctly. Sometimes bones that aren't taken care of heal awkwardly leaving a limp or bone bruises which were never meant to be there. They sometimes need to be cracked again in order to finally be healthy.
It never is an easy process.
If you or anyone else has been kicked in the shins by life, just remember to tend to your wounds and see if you can't make something of the experience.
It's one of the main reasons I started this blog. I am no longer afraid of speaking about my spiritual side.
