"You must let what happens happen. Everything must be equal
in your eyes, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, foolish and wise."
Michael Ende
It is difficult to stand by and watch a situation unfold, knowing that life will change. Not having any sense of control can trigger fear which will misdirect us. Impulsively, we may want to run and hide rather than face the reality unfolding before us. We are called to be neutral in our observation.
The reaction we choose to adapt to a shift will impact our emotional balance. If there is trust that we will find our way, there will be less anxiety. If there is fear of the worst possible outcome, we may spin emotionally out of control. The key is how we process the lesson rising before us with an open mind.
There are questions we can ask ourselves, such as: 1. What will happen if I do nothing? 2. What safe action can I take? 3. Am I over-reacting or downplaying? 4. Am I repeating an old pattern? Embracing the experience, we can move forward with a realistic assessment. We can begin to create harmony in a life worth living.
