Apparently one of the secrets enjoying this life we have right now is not letting what Buddhists refer to as the universal human condition - or suffering - get you down. So the big question is how the fuck you do that. When we are each born with a different amount of natural happy; a different amount of mental resources to cope with what comes our way; a different set of life circumstances we have to deal with. The New Agers would have us believe we all got what we got for a reason (not to belittle the New Agers - I consider myself one of them). The reason we got what we got is to learn our lessons and to become better people. To become more joyful and more loving - to ourselves and others. How to suck the marrow from our juicy, beautiful lives.
But what if we feel the scale tip? What if, despite our best best efforts - despite our intelligence, and insight, and the insight of others, we still feel overwhelmed?
No choice... We keep going. We put one foot in front of the other. We breathe. We know that suffering is the human condition, and therefore we are in the company of MILLIONS. MILLIONS of people, many of whom do research on how to get us out of the pits, will breathe life beneath our wings and tell us how beautiful our journey is. How beautiful we are. How our love for even one other human being has raised the vibration of the planet. How every positive thought we have sends out ripples of goodness, because even thoughts are energy.
We have faith. We believe in the best of ourselves. We imagine ourselves shining and we hang on to that image of us at our best because Spirit wants that. Spirit wants us to shine on the world. Spirit wants us to appreciate our own precious beauty, to see how there will ever only be ONE INCREDIBLE YOU.
