Many people, perhaps most people, have an underlying, deep-rooted idea of what life is “supposed” to be. And as such, they continuously measure their personal life experiences and events against this “supposed” idea of life.
Of course, as we all deeply know, life is really beyond the intellectual grasp of any of us – no matter how smart we may think we are. As such, our model of how life is “supposed” to be is, really, doomed to be flawed. We are raindrops trying to understand the ocean.
Instead of imposing your idea of life onto reality – instead of trying to measure reality against your projection of how life should or should not be – try accepting it as an invitation; a possibility. Not to “fit” with your patterns of life, but something that allows you to experience more of your being.
