Every Person Must Follow His or Her Own Process-Daily Meditation 12.21.22
Today’s quotation:
Every person must follow his or her own process. No one else knows what is suitable for another. There is no goal in living our process except to live it. Our processes can change. Our lives can change as we participate in the process. Our only requirement is to trust the process and live in faith. Our responsibility is to live out what our Creator asks of us. To live our lives. Living our process demands a deep spiritual commitment to being one with one’s life.-Anne Wilson Schaef
Today’s Meditation:
Are you one with your life? Are you in tune with who you are, what you’re meant to be, and how you’re meant to do things? Can you genuinely say that you are–or are working towards being–committed to becoming the person you were meant to be rather than the person may expect you to be? And are you willing to accept and deal with the changes you find in your path as you continue to live your life?
We have our lives and don’t have complete control over them. This is a good thing, for most of us, with our limited amounts of knowledge and our limited perspectives probably would push our lives in unpleasant directions if we had complete control. I remember wanting certain things desperately– relationships, material objects, jobs–only to find out later that that person or thing or job wasn’t at all what I had thought it was. I was glad I hadn’t successfully controlled outcomes at those times.
You know what’s right for you deep in your heart and spirit. Nobody else on this planet knows that. If you can trust life and your instincts and higher power, you’ll find that life becomes a great adventure in which you discover treasure after treasure around the corner after corner. Suppose we can be committed to allowing ourselves to live through our spirit rather than intellect. In that case, we can be one with our lives, for then we’ll be focused on who we are and what we can honestly give rather than on what we want and expect ourselves to be based on outside influences and expectations.
You are a tremendous and fascinating marvel, and you must recognize that fact to allow yourself to follow the processes that life has in store for you. When you know that you are a marvel, then you’ll know that your life has purpose and meaning other than that that your intellect assigns to it, and you’ll let that purpose and meaning shine through in all that you do as you flow with the river of life rather than fighting the current.
Questions to consider:
Are you one with your life?
Do you trust the processes of life, or do you try to control them and make them turn out how you want them to turn out?
What processes have you noticed recently in your life? Do you try to guide those processes or let them guide you?
For further thought:
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we must go through. Where people fail is when they wish
to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.-Anais Nin
