When everything in life is hunky-dory and all is going well, it is easy to smile. You come alive, when you can smile (in real) even when it is going tough.
It is said that you can judge a person by how they react to a lost luggage, a broken phone or unexpected rain. These hassles are quite small as compared to the major challenges or setbacks that life throws at us sometimes.
This is the time when you recognise your true strength. You fall apart but you learn, you grow and come out even stronger.This is the time to build trust that universe has your back. The time to know that you are supported even if it does not seem like that.
To believe everything is happening for a purpose and the purpose is your highest good.
You must be wondering it’s good to hear but how to stay in faith at time of such distress. For that you need to go to the depth “The Truth” as you can’t taste the huge ocean by standing at the shore.
The truth is you are an integral part of this universe exactly the same way as are the stars, the sun, the earth and all galaxies. You are as much a part of this magnificent existence as your hands are part of you.
You know with certainty that your hands won’t survive if separated from you. The same way, you can never be separate from the universe till you are alive. As you become aware of any thing that happens to your hand, similarly universe knows everything that you experience.
When you trust the universe fully, you know that it only works for your good. You will have unshakeable belief that whatever happens, I am going to be ok.
So when life throws challenges at you, how do you build that kind of trust?
1. Focus on your and your part only
Focus on what is the best you can do in any situation and do that with all heart and mind. Let the universe do its part and do not spend time worrying about what is not under your control.
2. Stay connected with Higher energy of universe
Cultivate the belief that even out of this situation which might seem shattering and pretty bad, only good will come. Say to yourself, I might not be able to see the good now, though I keep all channels open to receive my highest good.
Practice gratitude. Pray and meditate every day; because in that stillness of mind you can listen to the universe.
3. Slow down and be present
The important job you can do is slow down, stop running around like crazy and stay present to every moment. The more present you are, the more guidance and wisdom you can access.
4. Surrender
Attain the state of total surrender, which is not being inactive. Rather it means taking full action with a knowing deep within, that universe / divine or whatever you call it, has your back and you are never alone in this.
5. Keep moving
Doesn’t matter how many times you fall, never be afraid to get back up, to try again, love again, dream again.
Never let your challenges to limit you but you challenge your limits again and again.
Yes, Life is tough, but remember you are tougher. Keep moving!
You are the Universe!
