A sure thing

We all know it...There's only one sure thing in life: our physical body will one day cease to exist.

Every once in a while we are reminded of this. Especially when we thought we had a sure thing going on in our life. This could be a job, a relationship or a future plan. But how to deal with it if it turns out not be that way. At first it feels as if something has been done to us. Because the end of a sure thing isn’t decided by ourselves. How will you cope ? Anger, disappointment, frustration or disbelieve are the most likely of emotions to feel. But all of these won’t turn back the hands of time.

Since this blog is spiritual minded the only explanation of what was once seen as a sure thing could be a sign from the Universe. Its purpose is either to put you on a new path to explore or back on the path you drifted away from. I’ve put myself to the challenge in this life to turn everything that could be categorized as a ‘negative’ thing into something positive. And believe me, it’s a hard challenge but thus far I’ve managed to succeed in this. If you practice faith that includes that everything happens for a reason and there’s a lesson to be learned you kinda have to find the positive side. Many people would probably advise you to let go but most of them won’t tell you how to let go or simply don’t know how. ‘Let go’ is one of the things I wouldn’t want to hear in a situation like a sure thing gone wrong. To me it are hollow and meaningless words that are mostly said out loud because we feel it’s something we’re supposed to say.

I in fact do have a theory of how to let go I’d like to share. Keep in mind it’s not a golden formula it simply works for me. And maybe it’ll work for one of you too.

Here it goes…

The keyword: Acceptance. When most sure things end 9 out of 10 times it’s written in stone. Like I said as human beings we’re not able to turn back the hands of time to change the past. If we would be honest towards ourselves we would have to admit that anger and frustrations are wasted energy anyway. I won’t discard ‘disbelieve’ for it’s not a negative emotion but our mind or heart that wants to understand the motivations behind it all. And I believe we’ve all been that road before. And off course it’s okay to mourn about it for a while ‘cause certain thing could simply hurt at first. But make sure not to stay in that moment or dwell on it. If you would choose to accept it happened and believe it has a reason that leads to a greater purpose…It could contribute to letting go more easily and continue with your head up high. And be grateful for the experience you’ve had. You probably won’t believe it at first but it will make you stronger, wiser and helps you deal with the feeling of defeat if it happens to you a next time.  Because holding on could mean you will lead a cautious life where you will put aside the possibility of an abundant one.
