Life's currents are shaping you. Sometimes gently, sometimes with force...always with purpose.
Alan Watts
I have been thinking about how to fill this gap left by the loss of the little job, the loss of this EAL focus possibly, the loss of acivity with something else. I was trying to fill in the suddenly empty room with furniture; the space with substance; trying to fill in the silence with noise, the inactivity with activity. I was asking about what changes do I need to make in this Life for the better of all. I was pondering this as well as the idea that maybe there is some prior agreed upon plan to our existence that we just cannot understand with our limited human minds. Maybe everything is happening for a reason.
Then I happened upon this from Alan Watts. So much wisdom in 30 minutes of speaking. Sigh! I copied what I felt resonated with me during these contemplations with some degree of expectation that they may also resonate with you.
The right people cannot arrive if you are endlessly entertaining the wrong ones; the right opportunities cannot appear if your hands are full of things you secretly wish to let go of.
The unfolding is not random, it is intimate, precise, and purposeful.
You are not late, you are not missing out.
The right people are already on their way carrying with them conversations, laughter, and connection that will change your life. The right opportunities are already moving toward you, quietly aligning themselves with your path, waiting for the moment you are ready to meet them...destined to cross paths with you at the moment both your courses align...the chasing does not hasten the meeting it often delays it.
Alignment flows from trust and presence...deeper intelligence at work...that works beyond the calculations of your conscious mind
Trust allows you to rest in the knowing that movement is happening even when your senses cannot yet detect it.
The problem comes when the mind, impatient and unwilling to wait, forces us into situations that do not resonate...that is how we end up surrounded by the wrong people, those who cannot truly see us, or stuck in opportunities that feel heavy rather than alive. The irony is that we do this because we fear nothing better is coming...but by clinging to the wrong we close the door to the right.
Trusting the natural flow is an act of release. It is choosing not to hold on to what does not feel right even when letting go creates temporary emptiness.
The silence is space for alignment.
Trusting the flow= participating with awareness, taking inspired steps...you show up to life...you explore...you learn...you create...but you release the belief that you must control the outcome...you let your actions be expressions of who you are, not frantic attempts to manipulate the time line.
Certain doors close without much noise.
Wisdom in emptiness....the absence you feel is not a loss without purpose but a space being carved for the right thing to enter...(don't rush to fill in that space) to trust stillness is to resist that impulse.
Clinging to the wrong, closes the door to what is right
Life speaks in subtle ways...an inner nudge, a quiet curiosity, a recurring thought you cannot shake. These signals often get lost in the noise of endless activity but in stillness they rise to the surface. You begin to notice what you truly miss and what you do not. You see which relationships you yearn for and which ones you only maintained out of habit. You recognize the kind of opportunities that excite you and the kind that merely keep you busy. This clarity is part of the preparation. It ensures that when the right people and opportunities arrive you will recognize them instantly...not becasue they are the loudest or most glamorous but becasue they resonante with the truth of who you are. And here is the paradox: the right people and opportunities are not only looking for you but they too require preparation.
The timing is not just about you...it is about the weaving together of countless other lives and moments all aligning to create the perfect point of connection.
...to care for yourself in ways you never did when you were always rushing and this self tending changes your energy.
There is a quiet kind of courage to letting go of what is not meant for you
There is a deeper wisdom in knowing when to release your grip...when to stop pouring yourself into something that drains you rather than nourishes you.
The right people and opportunities cannot arrive when your arms are wrapped tightly around what is misaligned.
To cling to the wrong is to signal to Life that you do not trust it to bring you something better.
The right opportunitis will not demand taht you shrink to fit them.
Staying in what drains you is not loyality...it is fear disguised as committment.
You are not being denied...you are being shaped...every expereince you pass through, every challenge you endure, every quiet moment of uncertainty is chiseling away what does not belong, refining you into the version of yourself you will be able to receive, hold, and grow with what is emant for you.
There are skills you are still learning, wounds you are still healing, perspectives you are still gaining. All of which will make you a better match for what is ahead....This refining is not punishment, it is alignment
Life is always preparing you, even in moments that seem empty or aimless...
Every day that you live you are being given pieces of yourself that you will need later - strength you didn't know you had, wisdom you didn't know you were gaining, and a deeper connection to what truly matters.
When the moment finally comes it will feel like it could not have been any other way...you will see how the timing was perfect, how the lessons you learned were exactly what you needed; how the struggles you endured gave you the depth to appreciate what is in front of you and you will understand that the delay was never a denial. It was a gift, a gift that ensured you would not only meet the right people and embrace the right opportunities but that you would be ready to keep them, nurture them, and grow along side them for as long as they are meant to be in your life.
What is meant for you cannot pass you by. The things that truly belong to you, whether they are people, opportunities, or experiences are woven into the fabric of your life in such a way that they will arrive at the exact moment they are supposed to. Not a second sooner. Not a second later. The arrival happens in its own perfect moment and no amount of worry, force, or impatience will make it come faster.
Fear clouds your ability to see and to feel what is already unfolding for you.
I am beginning to see that everything is unfolding beautifully in "my" life. I am not being punished by challenges. I am being carved and molded into the being I wish to be. I see how I am growing...how easy it is to lose and let go of things when I am not attached to outcome...like that little job I had, like the tooth...
There are other things I am loosening my grip on too and I am welcoming the sacred space that is opening up for me as I do.
It is all good.
All is well.
