When you wake up, and think to yourself that staying in bed sounds a freaking gggaaaazzziiiiillion (yes, that's a technical term) ways better than facing the world, there is something wrong....deep down, in-your-soul wrong. Especially when staying in bed sounds so alluring not because of some circumstance in particular, but just because barely functioning and dodging the next road block is easier than expecting amazing things and figuring out how to get around the road block.
Someone very wise let me in on the secret that something good comes from all bad experiences….that no experience is really completely “bad” because it will put you exactly where you need to be for the next good thing to happen. That nothing is ever negative except your perception, and it is something you can change in the blink of an eye.
Well, I sit here in a rental house in the small town I grew up in, mid-divorce, with no money in the bank, two beautiful children, and an empty tank of gas. And I’m not proud of an ounce of it. In my heart, I know that I want all things amazing. BUT, I know that the road blocks I'm experiencing are only here to send me on my next adventure.
So, right now, this very moment, I am turning it all over to the higher powers in this Universe and proclaiming loudly, and in a “pee-my-pants” kind of excited way, that I can’t control anything but my perception and deep down I know, by way of my newly discovered blind faith in the journey itself, that wherever this road takes me, it’s all for good.
Mine, theirs, yours….it’s all for good. I am so ready for this. Road trip, anyone?!?!
There are times in our lives when all things seem impossible. Although we may not know the end or what may come of it, we know that should we try...we can at least say that we did. This blind faith journey that you are on will take you places you may have never wanted to go. But, in going these places you'll be able to see the things that you didn't think that you would. They'll probably suck, and you'll wish that you hadn't. But, at least then you'll know to go the other direction on another day. I'm inspired at your open view and wish you the best on your journey. Or at least, not the worst. :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, GREAT post! Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThat very wise friend of yours was completely right. IT'S ALL GOOD! I don't think there's any other way that it can turn out. Every "bad" thing that's ever happened to me has worked out to my advantage (eventually). Boy, do I have some stories I could (and will) tell you!
I'm in for the road trip, Friend! Let's go!
