Have you noticed how life often throws you a curveball when you least expect it? For me, curveballs have always been a way for life to remind me that I am not in charge, or to keep me awake, because let’s face it, life is unpredictable. The more we think that we have it under control, the more we seek security, the least prepared we are for life and the unexpected. I am starting to realize that the ability to accept what is coming my way and release my original plan–the way I think my life should unfold–is the way to go!
Of course we all would like to be in control. It is never easy to let go, but life is a roller coaster. We have a choice: we can hang on tight and try to negotiate every up and every down; or we can surrender to the ride, feel the ups and downs in our guts rather than fight them and, if at all possible, enjoy the ride. Yes, some of us get sick on roller coasters, but the point is that the very things that we do not want to do or that scare us are often precisely what we need in order to get past roadblocks on our way. When we cling on to our zone of comfort, our way of thinking, we rob ourselves of an opportunity to overcome the same challenges we encounter over and over again in life. We turn our backs to experience and growth.
When you see a door open, walk through it. Avoid the tendency to overanalyze and agonize over the decision. Trust that the door will open only when the time is ripe for you to enter this new space. On the threshold you will feel the fears and doubts, but on the other side you will feel invigorated. In fact, pay attention to the one thing in life that seems frightening and keeps popping up. Put it on top of your list of things to do. Your willingness to move into what seems scary, boring, or repelling will generate a lot of energy into your life, and lead to new places, new relationships, new jobs and inspire you as well as those around you
