What happens when things don’t go our way? 
We are always pushing up against life to get things to go the way we think they need to go. We want things to go the way we envision them to go. We set goals and we do mantra’s to bring in what we want in our life. Then when life doesn’t happen the way we wanted it to, we think we’ve done something wrong, that we must have made a mistake somewhere along the line.
Of course we all want to be happy, healthy and thriving in our life, which is a pretty natural and human quality. But what happens when we don’t achieve what we want? Maybe our health is compromised, maybe there’s a breakup in partnership. Then what? Then we become unhappy because things aren’t going our way.
What if this is just life? What if all of our trials and tribulations are for our higher learning and not something we did wrong or a big mistake? What if a health issue is also for our higher learning? Can we be okay with life not going the way we think it needs to be going? If we can’t be okay with life being life, then we will suffer. Everything in life is designed to shine a light on our unconsciousness and deepen our evolution.
A lot of times it takes something major to happen in our life for us to wake up and shift. It is this loss of control that enables us to see things differently. It reminds us to let go and be in the flow of what the universe has planned for us for our higher learning. We get in the way of the flow of the universe with trying to control the outcome of our situations. Then when things don’t turn out the way we want them to we get upset and feel like something went awry. Which is not the case at all, most times when things don’t go the way we want them to go, there is a deeper reason for why they turned out the way they did.
I go back to eight years ago when I was trying to sell my home with no luck at all. I had a plan that I thought was best for me and so when I didn’t sell my home I got a little aggravated. What I’ve come to realize is that not selling my home was for my highest good. I did not know that at the time, but the universe did.
So something as simple as being okay when things don’t go our way and just knowing that the outcome no matter what is for our higher good. Breathe and relax and sink into a knowing that you don’t have to control anything.
