Unknown Authenticity
Life throws us different situations regularly. Staring out the window with a cup of tea, or driving through places, or even while doing your daily chores, there is that certain amount of ‘unknown’ that plays up in the back of our minds, perhaps consciously or subconsciously. Think about it — what do you know?? Yes, you do know. But, do you really know?? Again, yes you do know. That’s it?? Really?? Then you begin to question yourself — am I missing something here?? There you go!!! You’re silent. You’re pondering intensely!!! Are you concerned?? Why??
As much as you think you ‘know’, there is that one little mysterious stickler that stands out, initiating you to doubt your thoughts, and it opens your mind to the possibility, that there are other ways of viewing what you think you ‘know’, differently. While you’re in those profound quiet thoughts of ‘accepting’ the ‘unexpected’, remember, those ‘dark and painful moments’ of forceful acceptance and realization, are ‘always’ in your favor. Really?? How?? You should always be open to the possibility that there are alternative approaches to doing things, and preferably easier and diverse viewpoints from others may help, to deal with ‘unexpected’ circumstances.
There is no one-size-fits-all anecdotes, recommendations or solutions for any ‘unforeseen’ situation. Learning to accept things the way they are, simply means ‘working around it’. Be it from weather conditions, to family issues, to politics, to anything that isn’t working in your favor — good, bad, or ugly. Processing your thoughts with your favorite beverage, silently and calmly, brings immense clarity to your beliefs and / or your circumstances.
There is nothing ‘dark’ about any situation, except for rejection or resistance of it. The moment you feel that ‘rejection’, it feels like your whole world came crumbling down. You continue to feel weak in the knees, till you ‘accept’ your circumstances — silently and calmly. But, by that same token, it is up to YOU to turn that one around — whether you’re in collaboration with others, or on your own. If you’re truly focused on your situation, with a ‘growth mindset’, it triggers optimistic thought provoking perceptions that guides you to settle scores effortlessly.
