There are so many mysteries in life, some of them great and some of them small. And, either can be vexing.
Why, for instance, do a contact lens, an earring, coin or my keys not just fall straight down, so they are easy to find when dropped? Why can I not master this mysterious “Physics of Falling Objects?”
Why is he looking at me? Why isn’t she looking at me? Why do you look so familiar? Why can’t I remember your name? Mysteries.
Or, more importantly, why do some people have the response–ability to act quickly, when someone else is in danger? Why can some take care of siblings or even incapacitated adults at an early age, while some can only do so later in life or never?
Why is that? Mysteries.
Or, of major importance… What am I doing here? What is my purpose in life?
Well, to answer that mystery, one must turn off one’s cell phone, the blaring music, escape the city sounds, screams of family members or friends and calm down by going into quietude.
Sshhh…
This might necessitate meditation where you are required not to think or perhaps just being quiet, so you can think.
Another mystery is why either can seem so hard to do.
However, whatever you prefer or works for you, don’t expect the answers to come quickly. For some, it may take more than one lifetime. But, the important thing is to begin the mysterious quest for selfhood. (This, by the way, is what my Total Renewal Sessions aid and empower one to do.)
As a general hint, however, I will tell you that, if you are moving forward with joy in both your life and your work, you are moving in the right direction. If you are in constant turmoil and misery, you are not.
You are not here to suffer, but to enjoy. There may be issues set in your path to delay your embrace or realization of joy, but they are merely tests for you to overcome.
As you begin the mystery of self-discovery, it won’t always be easy being you, but be comforted in the fact that all mysteries are meant to be solved.
