Life is about accepting and understanding other people’s behaviour. It is alien to some people to accept in others what they cannot accept in themselves.
Yet it causes far less pain to learn acceptance of issues that trouble you, as life has a habit of throwing up what you least like to happen or have most trouble in accepting.
Acceptance is the key to not having these troubles sent your way, as acceptance erodes away the fear of all the worries of life that befall you.
Imagine that god is a volcano and when the volcano erupts lava is emitted, which are millions of souls being created. As the lava cools and hardens it breaks away from the rest of the molten rock to create a single craggy rock, a single soul.
Over time this rock is weathered by the harsh elements of the weather, namely the wind, rain and the sea, the freezing cold and blistering heat.
Over time this rock is weathered by these harsh elements to create a lovely smooth stone, like your soul being weathered by the harsh elements of life where everything seems to go wrong.
But you learn lessons from your mistakes and misfortune to make you a better person, more rounded and smooth like the stone. But without the light of the sun, the god light, we would not be able to see the stone or your beautiful soul.
You must learn to see hardship differently. As they say you cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. So what makes you think that you will become wise unless you pass through the trials and tribulations of life.
You might not care for becoming wise, you might just want peace and calm in your life, yet you have to start somewhere to change what has gone wrong. You need to become stronger not weaker. You need to bend with life like the blade of grass. There is no need to become hard and heartless, this will just bring you more sorrow.
The barriers you build, are the same barriers that keep you away from love and happiness. You need to begin again with a fresh outlook, while learning better ways of being.
No one said it would be easy, when you began this life, but you can make this a life worth living, if you just trust that God is taking you in the right direction for your souls growth.
