Loose the Ego Not the Lesson!
June 1, 2008
Because of the nature of our physical world, it’s very easy
to become enveloped by the drama of our everyday lives.
One of the principal keys to success and ultimate happiness
is to become adept at being the “observer” of our life
experiences rather than getting caught in the role of
“experiencer”(Did I just make up a word there ?)
This falls in line with the highly philosophical theory of
“ You are the experiencer of experiences”. In other words
we are not just our physical bodies, but rather the
“awareness” that we have a body through which we experience
things, events, people, and places.
Okay enough of the philosophical lore, after all this is
the place for Inner Solutions to Outer Problems that are
practical right? Okay so how then, do we break this down
into simpler terms?
The way I manage to dissolve my problems is to rise above
them, look at them from a different angle. I reframe them.
I think of myself as both the screenwriter and character in
a movie that I call “My Life Story”. If you have ever
watched a movie, and I know you have, you will be able to
relate to what I am going to explain.
When I am in “character/actor” mode, I become desperate,
crazed almost, because I cannot foresee how things are
going to turn out, my scope is limited.
As the screenwriter, I know I have given my character some
sort of resolution in order for my movie to be not only
cohesive, but significant in some way.
Have you ever observed a character in a movie that is in a
difficult situation and looses complete focus? Well, it’s
no different for us.
When we become consumed by the desperation of our
particular situation, our ability to make a decision
becomes limited. Our consciousness shrinks and we become
more desperate because we cannot easily see our way out of
the situation.
When the actor calms down, and is able to transcend the
fear or desperation that is the moment when the plot turns
around and things start to favor him.
When I look at my problem from the screenwriter’s
perspective, then I KNOW that there will be resolution in
the end, after all I created my character and if I did not
feel a love or passion for it, I would not be a
screenwriter.
At the very least, even when a character has a “tragic”
ending it is the journey that contains the lesson, not so
much the end. Remember that movie Pay it Forward ?
For those of you who believe that God, The Source or The
Divine Architect as I call it, is the one who ultimately
decides your fate, you can ask yourself the following
question;
Why would such a power create me, have me suffer for NO
REASON AT All and then destroy me? That would make NO
SENSE! Or at least it doesn’t to me.
When I frame it up that way I allow myself to embrace the
experience and think, this is happening because this is my
opportunity to grow into a bigger and better person. I use
the experience to propel me forward by turning a
disadvantage into an advantage.
It’s not something I made up. The most successful people
in the world do it all day, every day! Walt Disney, Oprah
Winfrey, Someone you know that is happy, healthy and
wealthy.
But that’s the tricky part right? Everyone wants to know
the magic formula for turning the minus into a plus. I can
tell you its quite simple, but not always so easy. Its one
word KNOWING!
This is the ONLY time in your life that I will encourage
you to say that you KNOW something , for sure. Knowing can
be limiting in most cases but not KNOWING! Notice I
capitalized one them because they are NOT the same!
That’s right! KNOWING . When we KNOW that EVERYTHING that
is going on is actually preparing us for a “bigger” and
“better” experience then that is exactly what happens.
It’s crucial not to loose focus on the fact that we do have
very limited perception and often cannot see the “big
picture”. When we remember this it’s easier to let go.
The bottom line is you always have a choice!
When you view a situation as horrible and attach fear,
anger or resentment to it, it narrows your field of vision
and consciousness. The answers seem impossible to find.
When you reframe, let go and KNOW that answer is right
under your nose. THAT is exactly what happens and the
problem dissolves in no time.
Lesson: When you get caught up in your problems, you loose
the lesson. When you use the lesson as an opportunity for
growth you let go of the EGO.
Weekly affirmation: I am willing to stand back and view my
challenges as opportunities for growth. I therefore choose
to loose the EGO but not the lesson!
Love, Light, and Blessings
