Sizzle.
Can you hear it? I'm about to tell you what's cooking.
If you took the time to ask 100 different people what their main goal in life was, you would probably get a mass majority giving you an answer relating to happiness.
Of course happiness is a fantastic thing, but really how do you manage to get it? How do you go about living your life in a way that guarantees your happiness?
When we are truly happy, we are just happy.
We don't try to do anything with it or try to be more cheerful, we just are that way. But oh when we are angry, suffering, or in a hard part of our life, we try to do all kinds of things to get ourselves out of it. We try to kick the feeling, manipulate it, and exit out of it as quickly as we can.
Ignoring what's really going on in your life is a very dangerous and destructive way of living. When you ignore what's actually going on you create a ladder that is missing rungs. When life gets really difficult and starts kicking your butt, the rungs you hoped you could step down on are not there and you end up falling hard.
Where are you headed? Like a rock to the bottom.
Bang. Knocked out. In pain. Life is miserable.
We've all been there. So here's the part about how you can change all of this.
Allow for there to be some chaos and madness in your life. Allow for some of the unexpected to come about and head into the dark parts of your heart where you know you are storing neglected emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Get close to the "frying pan." Get close enough to those dark places to feel them and experience them but stay far enough away so you don't get completely overwhelmed. When you can heal yourself in this manner you end up actually dealing with what your heart has been asking you to deal with all along.
Going through this process will really allow you to heal.
If you know how to deal with some chaos and madness it can bring great things out in you.
It's not only the light that can create amazing things. You can create incredible art through the darkness as well. But you have to be willing to go there first. You have to be willing to enter into the places of your heart that scare you and challenge you in the toughest of ways. There are brilliant things that can be created from that place.
Be brave enough to do this.
Maybe happiness shouldn't be the goal. Maybe growth should be the goal. If we focused on growing every single day, we could see ourselves moving in all sorts of directions. We would expand and shrink in places and be almost like an amoeba. If we lived that way, there would be no shortage of direction in our life.
So how about you try it out? It could change your entire life.
