Effort and Acceptance

Effort and Acceptance

A big part of the spiritual path is the continuance to evolve to a greater sense of awareness; to continue to grow ourselves, to hold a loving space for others and for society as a whole as we evolve together as One.

Sometimes if we become absorbed in such efforts we might naturally also become attached to our specific ideas of success and when we do not or until we do achieve what we consider our success, we might feel some frustration often resulting in rejecting ourselves, others and society because we might feel inferior because we have not yet succeeded or we feel whatever we are doing is not making a difference. Becoming attached to any result inner or outer, for ourselves or others is a major source of anxiety, tension and conflict within ourselves and with others. While we do need to make an effort, we also need to learn to accept ourselves and others at each stage of this effort exactly as we are and also to accept our life situation as it is until we are able to change it.

Sometimes we may feel we have stopped growing, we’re not interested in improving our self and thus may become complacent about how life, society or how the world is showing up from our perspective. There is a tendency towards isolation and to shut out the outer and inner worlds preferring to remain living the way we always have been even if this is unpleasant and painful. Some people prefer a world that has become familiar rather than subject themselves to change and embrace the unknown even though the unknown may hold the promise of greater happiness, peace and love.

Perhaps it’s time to realize, move towards making more of an effort towards transformation and accept that the Divine design of evolution will not allow us to simply rest. We can ignore it for periods of time, but sooner or later the life events and situations happening around us will force us to awaken and we will accept change and transformation and we will emerge like a butterfly from its cocoon. Change and evolution is the stuff our entire Universe is made of. Remembering that we are holographic images of everything in our Universe then it is easy to conclude that it is our individual and collective destiny to change, evolve, grow and improve ourselves and the world around us until we become perfectly harmonious, beautiful and powerful beings and one with all that is.

May we manifest our higher potential on all levels; understanding and loving ourselves, others, and all life and may we truly fulfil our destiny as co-creators of the Divine process of evolution.
