Responsibility Cycle 6, May 21 - June 17 "It's not so much what happens to us but how we react that determines who we are, and, ultimately, who we will become." Growing can be hard and painfully uncomfortable but stagnating, becoming rigid, and clinging to the familiar is much harder still. Worry not -- life will always push you forward (whether you think you're ready or not). Knowing that growth and mastery is the goal you can "get with it" and enjoy the experience! No one can bribe their way out of the consequences of their actions. This isn't a reductive system of punishment and reward: it's the brilliant matrix in which we evolve. There may be little justice or fairness among men, but the all-encompassing Greater Universe always achieves balance. Take comfort in this fact. Our choices are important. Even seemingly trivial thoughts from moment to moment when added together form paradigms creating lifetimes of either happiness or woe. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for making your life beautiful, substantive, whole, healthful and loving. Then you, in your unique way, are to help others around you achieve the same. This is a privilege - not a responsibility. |
