Where are you in life?

We cross through different stages in life. They could be a mixture of joy, happiness, sadness, frustration, disappointment and others. Of course those life stages are influenced by many factors whether they are in your control or not. They just happen.

It is interesting to ask this question: Where are you in life? It gives you a sense of acknowledgment, love, warmth, acceptance and validation. It relieves you from the unnecessary blame, judgment and guilt. Instead it grounds you and brings you back to your presence and human existence.

Sometimes we want to escape life if the pain is too much to handle. Or we avoid thinking and reflecting. Or we dive into the daily distractions and being busy so that you don’t have to think.

But remember living life is like experiencing the different seasons of summer, winter, autumn and spring. You might think it is better to experience life in one way or the other. But the reality is you have got to go through the different stages. You have got to feel all the feelings, up and down. You have got to go up and come down. That is normal and the cycle of life. It can’t be fixed.

In such a context, rigidity makes it even more difficult to process or accept. Many think in terms of black and white, good and bad and right and wrong. But we forget an important piece here. It is the ownership of your life scenarios. Who you think really owns your life? Who allows the different circumstances to step into your life? Are you really in direct control of your life events happening? Your living, death and whatever experiences you face are from where actually?

When we step out of our limited human mind and realize the big picture of the situation, the intensity of your life scenario softens. It becomes a bit lighter, simple and easier to accept and process.

At the end, wherever you are in life and whatever you currently do, remember this: It is not personal. It is not about you. It is something far more bigger than what you see, hear and know. There is always wisdom and important lesson to gain from that life scenario. And remember you are not alone. You are always accompanied and supported. And the situation you go through is well known and recognised.
