Life tends to ebb and flow like the ocean. On one end of the spectrum, there are moments of absolute beauty, peace and serenity. The other end? It’s brutal, devastating and unforgiving.
That’s wild, isn’t it? Why does something so simple, have so much force and power? Why does this happen?
While these are valid questions, I think there’s something deeper to understand here. Something that we can all dive into and benefit from.
You see, the moment you try to control something you have no control of, you’re squaring yourself up against an opponent that’s simply unbeatable.
Yet people try to do this all the time. When life throws a curveball, we try to control the ball AFTER it’s already been thrown. Why? Why do we set ourselves up for this?
I believe it’s because we’ve been brought up and taught to RESPOND to our external conditions. To live in EFFECT our life experience. And while this might be “comfortable,” it poses a pretty big issue when we’re not ok with our current life conditions.
In order to have a more fulfilling, happy and desireable life experience, you MUST be willing to approach life DIFFERENTLY. And the best way to do this is to recognize that you are at CAUSE. Your MINDSET is what matters.
Am I saying that it’s your fault you’re in the conditions you’re in? No. I’m saying that if you don’t like the conditions you’re in, responding and being in effect of your conditions will NOT do you any good. In fact, it will ultimately keep you exactly where you DON’T want to be.
The only way to change your external conditions is to change your MINDSET and be at CAUSE. You have to stop focusing on the conditions you don’t want and start focusing on having the mindset that will CAUSE different conditions.
You don’t have control over the ocean. But you do have control over your mindset ABOUT the ocean.
If you train your mind to be able to effectively ADAPT and ADJUST to what life throws at you, then you’ll have the flexibility to navigate through this game of life no matter what it throws at you in a healthy and productive way.
