I get involved in some amazing little escapades really, from simple things like a trip to see how things in nature unfold and how we are blessed by its presence around us to great things like adventures in self exploration that are sometimes pioneering and bold. I am lucky to be able to enjoy and partake in such things, liberated from a mundane existence by circumstances the pain of which was intense yet ultimately beneficial in the extreme.
Without those circumstances, where would I now be? ...in some office, churning out legal work until I retire, paying off a mortgage and lamenting the fact that there are no more public holidays until Christmas? Gosh, it’s too painful to contemplate, yet useful to be reminded of when the otherwise sweet alternative that I am blessed to live is undergoing a challenging phase, because then I can resuscitate gratitude and the inner peace and great patience that comes with it.
The thing about this journey is that I am usually happy, but not always: when impatience kicks in, it tends to trigger fears and doubts which, if unchecked, can send me on somewhat of a downward spiral. However, I usually notice such things early on and, even if I don’t, rescue is usually quick and almost invariably stems from connecting with the God force within and handing things back over to it, peace emerging in place of turmoil when I feel the love and trust resume.
Rarely does this last more than an hour: compared with how, for many, bad periods can involve days, weeks, months or even years, that is really quite something. I am blessed...blessed to have committed to having the best life I possibly can and to serving the God force and all it asks of me, for in that came a turbo-charged personal growth and awareness that is behind most of my happier moments and the new norm of inner peace.
