Things Flow

It does not matter if things don't go your way. It doesn't go anyone's way anyway. In this long trip of living no one is going to tell you this secret,' Nothing is meant to go as per plan.' There are always changes that keep on occurring. No plan is perfect, and perfection is just adjustment to fit right now. So, planning is called being careful, because surprises are present at every step of the way. If unwanted things are showing up then good things will show up also. Pay attention to the fact that I wrote 'good things' not 'desired things'. Some plans match the godly paths and come to fruition but all those plans which do not fit the godly paths are replaced with the godly ones. 

We desperately want to see things understand them and make sense of them. We fail to do so but when God is considered to be, then things start to make a better sense. Definitely, we don't get to understand them always. Of many phrases that get thrown around the one that is quite interesting is this statement,' God lives through us.' Not knowing what it actually means and where this idea comes from, our definition determines this statement. A thing I learned during this process is that it is better to investigate on matter rather than misunderstand and misquote the statement. So, this concept is based on Christianity. Christians believe that upon accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour the Holy Spirit resides in the heart of the believer to allow access to the love of God and be a vessel of his love and pour out his love among everyone. It is a beautiful system to distribute God's love to all those who are close to him and also those who are not through people who are filled with the love of God. Like many, I just used this statement to justify all I did and also take pride in something that is not true. I learned that I was misusing a powerful statement to satisfy my ego.

' God lives through us.' is a statement which a godly life. But am I doing that? Do I know anything about being godly? If you have used this statement and have related to it at any point in your life, I urge you to dig into it rather than force you with my belief. But one thing is for sure, it is one strong statement that encourages us to be mindful of our actions and reactions. 

Even when all effort has been put in, problems never leave us alone. A new problem shows up at any moment. What are problems anyway, but reality telling us a miscalculated step was taken. Suppose you are solving a math problem and the answers don't match, you know there was an error in the process, right? The same is the case with the problems that occur in our life. It is also an opportunity to redeem a mistake. We have developed such a fearful relationship with the problems of life. We don't consider them as an opportunity to make things right but take them as a final verdict for eternal doom. We overthink and jump a few steps ahead to doom and neglect the hope that has shown up for redemption.

A problem of the same nature may occur in repetition. Focus on the pattern and track the common factor. That is what requires your attention. For example:- You are always late. Being late means factor is time and you solve this by working on time management. Another would be indecisiveness, you need to make a decision anyway. First, make a move, and if it does not work make another move. But don't let situations stop you. Some moments are sweet in stillness and some demand movement. In fact, everything in life is in motion and undergoing change. If deciding to stop somewhere is an option make sure that it is a place you like and appreciate. 

Life is measured in time. With the time you have make the investment in places of growth and significance. Life is a platform for experience and involvement. From where does experience take form and why does experience matter we make the discovery of this dilemma through living. We are meant to live freely to grow from a larva stage to become a beautiful butterfly. We live to learn the difference between right and wrong and why is even anything good and bad. Life has standards. Life just doesn't accept anything just done to satisfy a moment's rush which is why consequence is a vital action of living life. A good life requires maturity in understanding. Life is valuable and the way you live it shows how much you value your life. So, let things flow and live life right.
