Stuck in the Rut of Why

Life happens.

That’s the fact of things. Life happens bringing about circumstances in a constant flow.

Each situation is the result of your giving permission for those things to be in your life.

Many times people get stuck in the rut of, Why did this happen? Why is this happening to me?

Round and round you go with these thoughts, second guessing yourself or looking for someone else to place the blame on.

There is not blame. These things are in your life because you made choices that said you agreed with experiencing these situations.

That’s the why in a nutshell. You chose.

Now the important question is what will you do with it?

As long as you stay stuck in why you don’t move forward. It’s like being stuck in mud, spinning your wheels franticly making no progress at all.

When you move over to the what aspect, things begin taking shape in a new way.

What do I want from this situation?

What energy do I want to give this circumstance?

What insights do I wish to understand about my choices and beliefs?

Everything comes bearing a gift if you will look for it.

Every situation offers wisdom and clarity of purpose.

Whatever you find yourself experiencing right now has a flip side. Perhaps this flip side is exactly why you signed up for this “problem”.

While it isn’t set in stone that we experience hardship in order to understand our desire for ease and joy of living, most of us do it that way.

We create a circumstance that isn’t pleasant and become aware of what it is that we really are wanting to experience.

Problem is that most get hung up in the asking why over and over, giving all their energy to the present situation rather than turning their attention to what it is that they really do want.

Only asking why makes you feel powerless, asking what empowers you for change and creation.

Begin today asking what of yourself. What do you really want to experience?

What can you do to open yourself to change?

What can you do to move yourself closer in the direction of your goals?
