We as humans will go to all sorts of lengths to defer from taking ultra responsiblity for our lives. We will create the biggest traumas, dramas and tragedies so as not to have to face our inner struggles, to the point that the struggle we then create is so far beyond the original one we couldn't face in ourselves.
It's hard to tell people that if you just go deep into the original pain fully, and really feel it full on, it will release with much, much less pain and suffering than we imagine or create by prolonging this process. It's true though. And as much as we can tell someone this, it's really futile in a sense. People almost always have to reach rock bottom to break through, or get to a place where they are so so so fed up with their current circumstances that they make a choice to make a different choice.
I wish we didn't have to get to those rock bottom places. Life, though, somehow needs to light a fire underneath us to create such circumstances where we finally are so exhausted we have no choice but to surrender. We could make it easier on ourselves but most of us don't.
It does take a huge force to create change within, for us to take a hold of our lives and say NO, ENOUGH.
Ulitmately, it's that realization that nobody is going to do it for us. It is up to us, plain and simple. We hold the power and we must cultivate that force to see us through. We do it moment by moment, one choice at a time. Sometimes a few steps forward. Sometimes a few steps back, then forward. But it is up to us to make each choice - to grab life by the reins and get in the drivers seat of our own lives. You may need to scream it out, and yet take that step through the screams.
You can do it though. I know, because I am. You and I are one and the same. So let's walk by each other's side and cheer each other on.
