Keeping the faith...

It's tricky sometimes, to understand what the Universe has planned for you. Why that boy dumped you. Why the job you really, really wanted went to someone else. Why every little plan you ever make goes tits-up and forces you to regroup, re-assess and struggle onward.... Why it's never just easy. Well, life isn't easy. To get to where you are now just take a second to think about how much had to be overcome.

And I don't just mean "woe is me, I have been through soooo much...." because you haven't (did any of us grow up in rural Africa, for example? Have we been denied basic human rights? Have we battled famine, drought or grown up in a war zone....? Ummmm...), but on a less self-centred level, in the grand scheme of things, all things, an impossibly massive number of seemingly tiny, tiny events had to play out in a very particular manner for you to ever exist. That's insane. It's also fucking awesome.

So, before you go sweating the small stuff, spare a thought for the big stuff. The colossal stuff. The absolutely amazing certainty that everything is happening for a reason, that we're all part of something so much bigger than our egos permit us to perceive and that, regardless of our worries, stresses and mini-dramas the Universe will carry on regardless toward an end we cannot fathom.


So breathe. Relax. Let go a little and allow yourself to just enjoy each moment, happy or sad (for one cannot exist without the other....) safe in the knowledge that everything is just as it needs to be.

Peace and Love
