What wants to change?

What wants to change?

"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem."

-- Theodore Rubin

Our lives really begin to change when we learn to shift our perspective on ‘problems.’

From the spiritual perspective, problems offer our best path to growth. Like it or not, pain gets our attention. Pain also challenges the ego's perception that it is in complete control of life. This opens the door for soul’s guidance.

If we want to be rid of the pain, we must do the work that leads us to greater consciousness. Paradoxically, we can only get rid of the pain by moving through it.

The next time you feel “poor me,” stop and ask, “What needs to change? What does my soul want me to learn?”

“No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

Have you ever had a moment in your life when you thought "Wow, I have no problems"? I have. Several times. And it felt weird. I don't see problems as problems. To me life has it's challenges, opportunities and learning experiences. None of these are negative. All of them are catalysts for or agents of change. And life is change because it isn't static. Perception is the lens we live our life through. how do you want to view your life? You can say you are stuck, but in reality nothing stands still. Every moment, despite being NOW, is fresh and new because it is moving energy. Even our bodies are lots of moving particles so there is no such thing as stillness or solidity. Life itself is alive. So no matter how bad a day you think you are having, know that it is temporary. It can change in an instant and you can bring about that change even quicker simply by shifting your perspective.
