Variations of one idea: it’s all good, if you say it is

Even when following your excitement, doing your best, being detached of outcomes, flowing with life, being positively oriented…

There are moments were shit hits the fan (or so it seems).

Were things don’t seem to go “your way”.

In which your preferences are made evident by the contrasting opposite that manifests.

An emergency. An illness. A breakup. A failure. An abrupt change of plans.

A new dose of uncertainty, as you get to meet “the undesirable”.

That’s when you’re put to the test:

How much do you really trust in the positive flow of your life?

How much are you really connected with your abundance?

How much are you really detached from expectations?

How much of your spiritually becomes your functional practicality?

How much have you really changed?

Our experience in life is not about what happens. It’s all about how we relate to it.

And life — neither living your Truth nor acting on your excitement — are fundamentally about you feeling good.

They are about you evolving. They are about you realizing, actualizing, and anchoring in your experience more of your True Self.

And what in the surface might seem like negative chaos, can be what you most need to fulfill more of your true purpose.

When facing those this-is-not-what-I-wanted circumstances, the choice is yours:

Relate with it as if it’s a positive.

Decide to be in the state in which you take that for granted. In which you just know, that somehow, the only way this seemingly contradictory-to-your-excitement event manifested, is because it’s part of your path.

See it as the path. A challenging steppingstone. Not as an obstacle.

Embrace it with fascination. Get curious as to how this is here to serve your expansion into more of who you really are.

Declare that you’ll get a positive effect out of this gift-disguised-as-negative circumstance.

Because it’s your vibrational attitude, not your circumstances, the one determining where you’ll go from here.

So be fascinated… even by the “bad”.

Be excited… about the light you’ll get out of the dark.

Be curious… of how the “undesirable” will get you closer to your true desires.

Ultimately, all is good. And you’re safe. And supported… even by that which seems to go “against” you.

Tune into that essential truth by first assuming it’s going to be all good.

The positive doesn’t always comes in the forms we expect. But it always shows up the way we need it to as to expand, evolve, and express more of ourselves.

If nothing, the negative can serve you to master yourself as to remain positive.

And once it’s purpose is served, the negative doesn’t stick. It just fades away.

But to use the chaos, the unexpected, and the undesirable surprises to your benefit, you must choose — like on the yin yang symbol — to see the light even in the dark.

It’s all good.

Be curious. Be excited. Be fascinated.

And let the good in all be revealed to you.
