“Sometimes, despite your best efforts, life will give you lemons. When that happens, you’ve got two choices friend: you can wear a sour face or make lemonade.” from the Movie, Love Happens (2009)
“Life” gets a kick out of kicking us in the ass from time to time. And much like in fitness, those seemingly unbearable weights are what will make you stronger and more resilient, but ONLY when you decide to endure the pain, say cheese and press on.
And in the process, your muscles will tear to tiny little shrimp sized shreds, causing even more pain and groaning. You might even see a few of your dead relatives (that had moved on 200+ years ago). But despite all the agony and the disappointment you’re not disheartened. So you go back again (and again) and try to lift that giggling alligator off the ground with all your might.
Finally, after several weeks of groaning, swearing and sneezing, the weight gives way. And before you even know it, it starts to feel about as light as a your Grandma’s pillow. And all the muscles that you tore up in the process, will have grown back and made you into a much stronger, better, happier and sexier human being.
And THAT is how EVERYTHING in life works, even if it seems unfair or unjust in that moment in time.
Now here’s the REALLY good news. You’re not alone in your battles!
Huh?
If you’re a person of great integrity that’s kind, respectful and helpful to everyone (regardless of how much you hate them) and you donate 10% of your net income each and every month to a worthy cause (that doesn’t include buying more shoes), then you’ll also have the backing of an invisible and supernatural army who are diligently fighting your battles, resolving your situations and clearing away “a good number” of your obstacles. And all without you having to lift a finger or a toe.
And no, you don’t need a religion for this. Our Creator is fairer than most people give him credit for. And the way to your Creator’s heart is through his Children (i.e. “Humans” in all different shapes, sizes, colors, religions and hairstyles). If you help them consistently, he’ll have your back for the rest of your days.
Now, that doesn’t mean that you get to just sit back and sip on ice cool lemonade all day long and wait for things to just magically fall into place. That rarely ever works, even when your Creator’s having “one of those days”. But, it should give you enough of a fire in the belly and a drive to unleash that mighty Peaceful Warrior inside you.
Admittedly, it wouldn’t be a pretty picture if you were out on the Football field all by yourself, facing eleven formidable opponents who appear to have saved their appetites, just for you. But when you have the backing of a team of really bad ass champions with extra large foreheads and sparkly teeth by your side, it’s a whole other story.
By the way, this process takes time, patience and consistency, which is why only a “tiny fraction of people ” ever experience all the limitless wonders the Supernatural realm has to offer.
