How is it supposed to be?

I’m sitting in the meadow on my six-acre property. The only sounds I hear are the sounds of the creek, and the singing of the birds in the surrounding trees above me.

I share the following insight from a place of deep stillness, inner silence, and clarity, that pervades the fullness of my body, my mind, & my heart.

It’s only in recent human history, particularly in the Western world, that people have garnered some bizarre, new assumptions that are not serving humanity well:

Many assume that life is supposed to be easy, pleasant, & comfortable.

They that no human being should have to suffer.

That everyone should be treated the same. That human beings, most importantly themselves, should not experience any difficult emotions, or circumstances.

The fact that reality doesn’t align with their assumptions makes those who hold them increasingly angry, enraged, depressed, and despondent.

In their egoic arrogance, they are convinced the world is wrong in the way it operates.

I understand. I was there once too.

Through trial and error I came to realize a much more much  accurate, and integrated  framework I’d like to suggest to you: Life is a school

We are all here in different grades. We are here to learn lessons to grow, to evolve, to awaken in our consciousness.

We are here to discover the truth of who we really are.

We are here to figure out how to come into reunion with our Creator.

With this framework you realize it’s not about avoiding the challenges and difficulties, it’s about continually, and enthusiastically, facing them head on, to live your highest purpose.

It’s then that everything changes.

The beauty, the miracles, & the deeper resiliency, emerges when you muster the unwavering love, to continually face the challenges head on.

The more you learn the lessons, the more you become a teacher that can show others the way.

This is true love.
