Twisting and Turning You Inside Out

Learning how to relax and flow through the unexpected rough spots in our lives.

In order to evolve, chaos is necessary. The universe is continually throwing itself out of balance {in a state of perpetual chaos} in order to maintain equilibrium. Nothing remains static. Change is inevitable and vital. Maintaining a rigid attitude which does not allow for variance will do nothing but cause you to age before your time. Don’t be so fixed.  Don’t hold onto grudges that need releasing. It is written in ancient manuscripts: “Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing”.  In other words, refuse to establish and maintain a premeditated way of life.  Be spontaneous and natural. Be convenient to yourself and you will remain true.   You can not stop what is going to happen anymore than you can change the color of your eyes. So, what do you do?  Get mad?  Scream? Demand your way? Balk and refuse to go along with the current program? Or pretend to give in but all the while hold an “ace in the hole” counting the days until you get “yours”?  “Your day will come,” you tell yourself with submerged sinister glee.  Come on.  Come down from that isolated insulated no bathroom ivory tower; you gotta piss, sometime.   Realize you are not blameless, nor guileless. {Incidentally, the ones who have been were either killed, mutilated, crucified, or poisoned}  Which do you prefer?  Anyway, what are you trying to prove? How inconsolable are you?  How delicate and sensitive? Yeah, right. In the end, what does that get you except yucky feelings of apathy, self-perpetuated exhaustion, unfounded guilt, fake remorse and yes, maybe, even a good poignant dose of drama-infused self-pity? And, in addition, should you choose to wallow in your “I’ve been done so wrong for so long song”, people will slowly start disappearing from your life.

Accept it.  Your life is perfectly blueprinted according to your specifications whether your realize it or not.  Just because you are not aware of and don’t understand all of the multi-faceted specifics involved, does not make the plan non-existent. It’s important to become more flexible. That’s the only way you are going to have any fun.  Why burden yourself with so much unnecessary iron rod authority?  Who cares IF things don’t go exactly as you planned?  Whatever has occurred is the only plan that exists.  Wake up to your life!  Stop filling your mind with expectations.  Expectations are designed to bring forth disappointment. It’s all geared to teach you to let go of any hint of a pre-fabricated life. Natural and convenient should be your mantra. If it’s not natural and convenient for you and to you, don’t do it.  Otherwise, you will end up resenting the person or event. Believe it or not, the “twists and turns” that show up in your life do so because it is “natural and convenient” for them to do so.  Notice, no preparation required. What’s important is that you will always be the last one standing for the next adventure being written just for you. Lighten up! Enjoy whatever, however, whenever, whoever, without knowing why—–ever

    I really liked this article. It is so well written. It explains why our lives often take unexpected turns. I have taught all my life. Now I am retired and I accidentally stumbled on Triond. I wrote very little before. Now I am writing all the time and loving it. Good work or should I say three housepoints.

    As I have lived and learned, the one element of life that sticks out the most to me IS the last line. I appreciate your insight. Best to you…
