Transcending Challenges

 Today i was driving home from a wonderfully peaceful yoga class when a tiny rock hit my windshield... My first thought was "are you serious! i just had my car windshield repaired recently from a kamikaze pebble"  Why ? why? why? Did i do something to deserve this? then i quickly replayed my day leading up to that moment seeing if maybe i put out some bad karma along the way... nothing really came to mind... then i thought " everything has a reason , but that doesn't mean i get the satisfaction of always knowing why!" 

     I am grateful that most of the time when something "bad" happens / "unplanned" . i simultanteously surrender the need to know why... instead i just trust the flow of the Now . the continual change that this beautiful universe Is. Nothing is really an accident... nothing! this is an incredible realization to truly understand. 

   

    Most of our daily suffering can be sourced back to an initial mental resistance. The thought that "this event" was not supposed to happen... it does not match "my will", my plans!!! 

   

    This is a silly reaction... When you know that the Higher power       (insert your name for the divine infinite intelligence here________) is right Here with you always! Always has been, always will be... much like a loving parent our Creator allows these " bad " events to happen for our own personal development. We must learn. The Creator wants us to experience the full range of Life and that includes one day being a Creator!!!!  You dont give your child the keys to your car, such a powerful instrument!, until you know that they are old enough " wise enough, developed enough" to use it effectively and safely. 

    A couple hours later i felt a deep place of peace , and an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for all i have.. this "destructive pebble" gave me a wonderful gift! the gift of apprecatation for all i have and everything to come!!!!        

    I am grateful for every obstacle in life... Opportunity to become stronger / more resilient ... slowly but surely mastering life!
