Live Your Best Life | Be Like Gravity
I was on my way to a car dealership today to look at a new car. Yes, although not as cool as the BMW 3 series, I decided to go green and consider a Toyota Prius, especially given all of the miles that I sometimes drive, not to mention So.Cal traffic can take a toll on a car. More importantly my ego doesn’t need the inflation of a car like that. Perhaps once upon a time, but not now. But something struck me on my way to look at the car: that I hadn’t thought about my last relationship in a while. Have no doubt, time heals all wounds. It’s funny to think how crappy I felt just a couple of months ago. However when we have a reference that puts everything in perspective for us, it all makes sense about how we have to be like gravity. We have to be like gravity in that we have to gravitate towards the things and people that gravitate towards us. This permeates all levels of life. Allow me to explain.
In our relationships, it is useless for us to convince someone to like us. No doubt, there is sometimes a game we have to play during the courting phase however over the longer term, it is fruitless to convince someone to like us. Our time is far better spent gravitating towards people who like to spend time with us without us having to impress them or convince them to do so. How do we know when we’re with the right person or set of friends? Nothing feels forced, we look forward to spending time with them, and we don’t have to feel like we’re someone we’re not. We just exist and are happy in their company. Trust me, take a look at how you are when you’re with your best friend and contrast that relationship to other people you’re with. Now let’s move on to our “job” or whatever it is that we do for a living. If you’re having doubts about your job or are unhappy or perhaps are at a stage in your life where you’re still considering what you want to be when you “grow up”, then read on. It’s probably easier than you think to decide. Think back to what you wanted to be when you were a child – do you still have aspirations to do that? (aside from being a millionaire, which we’ve all found out, isn’t actually a profession!). You may find that you do, and may want to consider pursuing that. Or if you’re not sure about your current job, take a look at your life. Do you find yourself tired? Snappy with your loved ones? Getting sick all the time even though you take care of yourself? It may very well be your subconscious trying to give you signals to move on.
My point is that life does not have to be a struggle. In fact, the Universe is so abundant with whatever you want that it is fruitless to feel like you are swimming upstream. The path is laid out for you and perhaps more obvious to follow than your mind can comprehend, which is why we spend so much time pursuing things that we are not sure of, because society has conditioned us to take certain paths, which may or may not be our true heart’s calling.
Take some time to meditate. Contemplate. What did you want to do for a living as a child? Who are the people that you feel most alive when you’re around? When was the last time you got sick – what or who was involved in your life? These are the breadcrumbs that the Universe has laid out for us on our journey of fulfillment. Just follow the simple law of Gravity in everything your heart calls for you to do and you will be amazed by the results.
