Hi Chris, I just watched the David Ghiyam episode on The School of Greatness podcast and he talks in depth about this - about the NEED for difficulty as a way of opening and then priming our vessel to be able to attract (reclaim) more light which we can then, in turn, deflect out to others. Overcoming difficulty, he argues, is a necessary step along the path of not only our own spiritual development but the evolution of our soul.
Over the years, I have been taught to focus on moving forward in the now even though it is tempting to dwell on the past and I am no stranger to writing about that.
I do practice Tai Chi every day and in that time, I am mindful of the now in myself rather than the period of tomorrow or the sins of the past.
I've often wondered that, if there are other timelines, what are they like - and I figured there had to be ones that were much better than this one I'm living in, so it's interesting to think that this could be the best possible timeline for me. It makes me think about things differently. How can I live my mission and purpose in this life? It's kind of exciting to think that this is where I'm meant to be and this is where I can make a difference and do my best and make a stand - that this is where I can be the best possible me and live my best possible life. Thinking that this is where I'm meant to be is kind of freeing and wonderful. Thank you, Chris, for sharing this.
It would, and does, feel safe, supportive, exciting, curious. It would mean, I’m not a loser, fuck-up, failure. It would mean, I’m on the right path, possibilities are presenting themselves, life is not a roulette wheel. It would mean, I have less power than I think, and that the universe is essentially benevolent. It would mean I play a role and have a purpose, even if I can’t discern it.
Is very ill. She could be here one more day or six months. She is bipolar. Growing up with her was full of chaos. I hate when life is unpredictable. I learned quickly that the STRESS ( lol ) of being a realtor while caring for mom would not work. Given up real estate for a while as I care for her. I felt like a failure for months b/c of my decision. Your post reminded me that I am doing what is best for her and myself right now. It’s meaningful. Thank you!
Thank you for this. It meets up with a confluence of events — some tragic, some miraculous — that have just recently shown me that rare glimpse of being just where I am meant to be. Now.
Ever since my divorce, I do believe that I have been living my best life, but reading this puts a new spin on it. Considering that I'm actually in my best possible timeline adds a new dimension to my previously held beliefs. Aside from a few future goals I wish to achieve, I really do think I'm embracing this timeline as the one that is meant for me.
Thanks for this reminder and that there are other ways to live in this time that are more hopeful and empowering.

What a beautiful short reflection!

Wow!!! This really touched me. My mom

Great positive thinking pieces which is needed more than ever for many. Thanks! 👍
That's a question faith (many sorts of faiths actually) often presents...
