Life sure takes funny turns...
My life, to be sure, does. I have taken a break from blogging for a while, as many things have been happening quick and fast in this world of mine.
Lets not go into details about what they are - but do lets discuss the lessons learnt from this experience of 'living the fast life' - literally hahaha!
Once again, I, like many other people, tried to take control of my life recently. For eg, I stressed about lack of money, I stressed about how to get more money, I stressed about how to control others so that I could reach my own personal goals...
Control freak that I am, or was, now i read back on my prior posts and realise that I missed one thing these past few months in my life - trust. Some people may call it trust of God, some people call it trust of oneself or of others. I dont know. Trust - funny word.
Lets take an example from our own bodies - I know for now i have a full bladder. I need to go to the toilet - that will my MY own way of controlling this uncomfortable feeling of a full bladder. what if i dont indulge in this controlling behaviour - ie bring myself physically to the toilet? Bingo.
You may view the wetting of my pants the "bad" effect of no control - having an acciddent in my pants - eeew! gross! in the daily sense of 'control', if i lose my control over, say, my need to have money, the result? maybe i go broke. maybe i live on the streets. HOKAY.
But You may ALSO view the wetting of the pants as a "good"effect of this so-called "no control". How? Well, it is a release of a very natural bodily function. it is the release of the discomfort of controlling one's bladder. in the daily sense of 'control', it will be the culmination of the universe' way of establishing equilibrium again... if you can look at it that way. 'equilibrium' might mean 'going broke', but it IS equilibrium, a sense of balance before things start to function again.
Back to 'trust', though... what has it got to do? well, obviously, in this case, it is trusting that equilibrium will happen no matter how hard you try to control. whether one ends up peeing in the loo, or in one's pants, equilibrium happened.
As i said earlier, my trust was dodgy for a while there. and i became a major control freak. but that did not stop equilibrium from happening. The lesson in this? it is to trust. when one loses trust and starts to feel as though it is them against the elements, then the journey to reach equilibrium becomes an unnecessary struggle, instead of the wondrous joyful self discovering journey that it could have been.
finally, for all that i've said so far, this picture puts it all into perspective!
