Realisation and Self fulfilment

Disappointment is a part of life, and try as we might we cannot save ourselves or be shielded from it. We can however make a choice. That choice is to accept that not everyone can come first in the race.  It is about coming to terms with the fact that we aren’t all A* students.

There is no need to feel disheartened.  Every failure brings an opportunity for a different kind of success.  It’s true that not everyone in the world will become a famous Singer, Footballer, Doctor, Lawyer or Rocket Scientist. However, there is a role uniquely available for you! 

Accepting that the road on which you currently travel no longer brings joy doesn’t have to be accompanied by feelings of shame, or inadequacy. Would you rather be the person who says in the dusk of their life that they never enjoyed their work or become the person who decides to take a moment to pause, to take a deep breath of life and to say, ‘this no longer serves me’?

To begin again, to work harder and smarter, or to recognise that your route or particular journey no longer thrills or excites you can be a real opening for renewal.  It can lead to a life that brings greater fulfilment and joy. Even a belief system you have inherited, or a religious tradition that has been passed down to you, can cease to serve you.  Re-evaluating what you have always accepted or understood can be the door to spiritual enlightenment.

Celebration should follow such a major life changing realisations. The dawn of a new day follows the darkest hour. Put differently, we have to be lost before we can be found! So, be courageous and follow your dreams. When your heart sings, move to the rhythm and be in alignment. Only then will you experience true bliss and a contented life.
