TRUST:


Yes, we're learning that painful and
disappointing things happen, often for
a reason and a higher purpose. Yes,
these things often work out for good.
But we don't have to spend so much
time and energy figuring out the
purpose and plan for each detail of
our life.

Sometimes, the car doesn't start.
Sometimes, the dishwasher breaks.
Sometimes, we catch a cold.
Sometimes, we run out of hot water.
Sometimes, we have a bad day.
While it helps to achieve acceptance
and gratitude for these irritating
annoyances, we don't have to process
everything and figure out if it's in the
scheme of things.

Solve the problem. Get the car
repaired. Fix the dishwasher. Nurse
yourself through the cold. Wait to
take the shower until there's hot water.
Nurture yourself through your bad
day. Tend to your responsibilities, and
don't take everything so personally!

If we need to recognize a particular
insight or awareness, we will be
guided in that direction. Certainly, we
want to watch for patterns. But often,
the big insights and the significant
processing happen naturally.

Perhaps the lesson is to learn to solve
our problems without always
knowing their significance. Perhaps
the lesson is to trust ourselves to live,
and experience, life.
