WAIT - Have You Taken A Wrong Turn?

Are you struggling every day, in multiple areas of your Life? Does it seem that no one understands your thoughts, that you are always conflicted about taking decisions, life is full of difficult choices, and your loved ones misunderstand your intentions? Do you listen to sad songs and shed silent tears about what could have been?

Life is moving along but is not the happy journey you once thought it would be. You feel like a spectator in your own life, like someone else is pulling the strings - and all you can do is dance to the tunes?

Most people who live like this have issues of acidity and indigestion. They are incapable of “digesting” the situations they find themselves in.

So- why are we, in the prime of our lives realizing that we seem to have taken the wrong turn? What happened to our happily ever after dreams?

Chances are, we need to embrace ACCEPTANCE.

I can almost see the wheels in your mind churning and an immediate reaction to say- I am quite accepting of my life. I don’t need to change anything- this article is not for me. And yet others will say- Do you mean that we should passively accept what life doles out, and accept our fate? Should we not move along and exercise free will and work towards our goals?

Acceptance actually is not about living passively and giving up on your dreams. It is all about Courage, Grace, and Flow. It is about having the faith, despite the circumstances, that all is well.

Imagine a beautiful river which begins at the peak of the mountain, gently flows in acceptance through various plains, hills, cities. It can be aggressive when it wants - it has the power to cut through rocks and forests to find its way, yet it does not challenge nature and try to remain a glacier.

When we accept something, we are giving Life a chance. Sometimes, situations and people require time - and space. A dance after all, cannot be led only by one person- it takes two to Tango. It is not about control, it is about moving in perfect harmony, respecting both sides.

It is people’s Free Will that we need to accept, at a deep level. Most of us are happy if the move is made according to our wishes, but if it is not, then we resort to complaining about how unfair Life is, about how difficult the other person is being.

You know what is the opposite of Acceptance? It is Control! It is the nature of our egos to control the outcome.

When we are in a relationship, we expect our partners, children, and spouses, to behave in the manner we would like them to behave. How could he/ she withdraw from me? How can they not see the depth of my pain? The Reality is- that they are not the ones giving you pain- it is your need to control the other person or situation that is causing you to shed tears. Look within, and not at others when you are in pain.

As the saying goes, we are either part of the problem or part of the solution. When we are disturbed about something or someone, it is because we do not understand on a higher level but view it through our personality which is attached to our need to control things and see ourselves in a positive light. If some facet of our life is unacceptable, and we have been upfront in dealing with it to no avail, sometimes the only way through is to accept that this is so.

Acceptance is a beautiful trait. Life your life fully. If the outcome is to your liking, accept it with happiness that the Universe is sending you love. If not, look within and see – embrace the situation gracefully.

It is YOUR Life - it is ALREADY BEAUTIFUL. Stop chasing that person, that job, that house, that role, that car. Accept and be grateful- all those things will come to you naturally.
