WELCOMING TRIALS

TESTS IN LIFE

We can look at trials and tests in life as being victimized, tormented and targeted by some 'unknown, invisible, enemy', OR WE CAN SEE IT AT TRAINING TO DEVELOP OUR SKILLS AND ABILITIES, as preparation to give us the knowledge and deep insight we need into situation which occur in life. In my experience most people say :"go with the flow, don't make waves, it's fate, it's destiny, it's just the way life is, grin and bear it, etc, etc, etc." Very few can give us the reasons behind it and so we battle through life....falling from hole to the next... Our attitude towards these tests will determine the outcome, either we dig in and overcome each test becoming conquerors or it's going to drag us into the dungeons of darkness with confusion, frustration, anger and depression. When we feel helpless in the face of a storm, the storm takes control and wins leaving us battered, broken and torn. Then we need to do damage control with the long outdrawn battle of putting the pieces back together again. Already we are so exhausted with fighting the storm that we may just sink into the darkness and be overcome. When we see all events as opportunities to grow and learn more, finding within the depths the purpose and meaning of it all, seeking knowledge and information on it, the secrets and mysteries of life are revealed. Every event and situation is a seed and it's up to us to plant it, water it and make it grow to its full potential. A seed is only a seed until it starts to sprout and grow into which it is meant to be, because it is in the growth that the true purpose of it is revealed - when we are busy unravelling the circumstances surrounding us, we are actively busy gaining insight and we have no fear. Fear doesn't even come into the picture simply BECAUSE OUR CONCENTRATION IS ON OVERCOMING AND REVEALING WHAT IS HIDDEN IN THE DARKNESS....WE ARE BUSY. Fear is an enormous factor in the lives of those who sit and DO NOTHING. EVERYTHING SEEMS LARGER THAN LIFE. When we take the first step into seeking answers, reasons, purposes, it breaks down into much smaller sections, and what used to loom like a mountain in front of us has now become a collection of little mole hills, quite manageable..... BECAUSE WE ARE ACTIVELY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, ALL THE TIME EXPANDING OUR KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE AND WISDOM. WE ARE GROWING A GARDEN OF SEEDS IN LIFE AND THEREFORE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD AND NOT TREADING IN THE MUD MAKING THE HOLE DEEPER AND DEEPER. SO GET ACTIVE - START LIVING THE EXPERIENCES OFFERED AND MOVE AHEAD......©
