Entering into a space of peace and openness can be
challenging at times. When things aren’t
going the way I expect them to go or events happen that bring pain and
disappointment, it can be so hard to trust and believe in a generous and
benevolent universe. I want to remind
myself in these moments that I am in the middle of the road and not at the end
of it. Yes, it is painful and hard to
experience, yet it is also a temporary experience which does not have to define
my entire journey. I want to remember
the other times in my life when I have traveled down other painful roads to
find understanding, meaning, growth, happiness, and purpose at the end. I will not allow myself to take a detour into
self-pity and destructive avoidance behaviors, rather I will steadfastly move
forward one step at a time trusting that good will come from what feels like
defeat.
