Land On Your Feet. Every Time.
We always exist in a state of grace. Grace is our benevolence of heart, and our generosity of spirit. Grace is unconditional love and the beauty that is our humanity. When we know that we are blessed with grace, we can't help but want to live our lives in grace ...grace is a permanent part of our being. Knowing we are graced gives us hope, makes us more magnanimous, and allows us to trust that we are taken care of.
No matter what situation has arisen for me, when faced with a crisis of minimal or biblical proportions, some unexpected curve ball of a blessing (grace) has popped up out from left field. I never see them coming, but every time they are there. The blessings can be something as small as hearing a phrase that has stuck in my head so long that it reveals a new perspective. Or, it can something as big as finding funds for paying financial commitments.
No matter how bad it seems, life just has a way of gliding on. Every time. Believe me, it has happened often enough that I have let go of any skepticism! Life works out without me being at the wheel every minute. I know I can comfortably take a deep breath, hand my fears over, and just go with whatever happens, trusting that I'll land on my feet. Every time.
The trick comes in letting go of a personal blue print for how things should work out. The ability to accept what is happening and letting go of ones original expectations is key when dealing with these unexpected turns of fate. We have a tendency to get stuck in our heads, clinging to an idea of how we think life should go, and we can have a hard time accepting anything that doesn't comply with that idea. The fact is that life is unpredictable.
Even positive turns of fortune - an unexpected influx of cash or falling in love - require us to be flexible and to reconsider our plans and priorities, sometimes in the blink of an eye. Consider this: your car breaks down, and you are late for an appointment. And, while it's true that you never arrive at the scheduled meeting, you end up spending a few relaxing hours with people you would never have met otherwise. Or, the trip you thought was for business; and when the deal fell through you got depressed. However because of changes in your undertakings, you landed at the airport two days earlier than planned and you met the love of your life!
Joseph Campbell said "We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." So, next time a curve ball comes your way, take a deep breath, say thank you, and open your mind to a new opportunity!
