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.
