Life is only to be lived. You do not live until you actually start living when you walk in the Way with the Life.
You may need first to get lost in order to become found. It is what life holds.
Life does break you to make you. Things do get bad and even worse sometimes in order to get great. It is the purification for transformation. Life holds this much.
We are on a journey. We do have to go through tough personal journeys. Sometimes we seek an oasis and we get confused because of the excruciating experiences we encounter.
When we return from the painful sojourn, we return to find broken pieces awaiting us and they somehow become meaningful as we piece them all together.
It all forges meaning. We do not make meaning without them. Pain does birth gain. And even when the flames seem like gone out, the essence remains to engender freshness in season.
You are where you are meant to be right now. To this, ponder a bit more. Though men do write men off, take no thought of it. Your key belongs to none but you and it rests within you.
Let none deceive you. More importantly, lie not to yourself about who you think you are.
If you do, experience will reveal you and teach you otherwise. Be true to thyself. Be authentic.
Some of us have to go to the extreme to gain clarity. And then, too, unless we accept the reality we would be far from closure.
For His purpose were you formed, not for your own. For others are you to live. This is the mystery behind creation: Nothing was made for itself.
If you think you are going downward, struggle not against it, for soon enough shall you come upward, for nature only revolves and at a phenomenal pace at that.
Life does squeeze us and brings out our hidden treasures. Thus is juice extracted from orange, sugarcane and every juicy fruit? This much you know, but hardly take thought of.
Depending on who we are in our essence, we do not bring forth our treasure and juices until we go through the painful squeeze.
We go through discovery as we evolve. For some, it is obvious and quicker than for others. It all depends on how we are wired.
Everything that happens to you happens to manifest your essence. Everything is a gift.
The right person is always there. He or she may be a hard find but that also depends on how rare we are.
Do not quit seeking. You will find if you persist. The compass within your essence is your guide. Pay attention to your compass.
In the midst of environmental silence and the throes of pain, we evolve to find meaning. In this perfect silence, you hear distinctly and feel the engine of your being working.
There is thus no silence within you despite the environmental silence of solitude and separation. You keep revving till you transit from this space.
And even beyond transition, you are yet. This much you will perceive when you are transported to the other dimension.
You are spirit. Spirit you were before flesh. Spirit remains in you and with you. In your spirit is your life and your soul, the decider of your destination.
Thus well did Thielhard Pierre de Chardin say that 'You are a spiritual being having a physical experience, not a physical being having a spiritual experience.' Spirit you were before flesh.
Life is best lived in the unseen. That is your life.
