One of My Biggest Life Lessons – Allowing Life to Be What It Is

~My Story – My Biggest Life Lesson~

It seems as if my whole life I was always looking for the next best thing to make me happy. I thought I knew exactly what I needed to make me happy. I needed to be an entrepreneur and have it work out EXACTLY as I envisioned it. I needed to find the perfect man to spend my life with and he had to have very specific qualities. I needed to live in a specific place that didn’t give me any stress. I eternally sought comfort, not growth.

The problem with having no problems is that you don’t grow or expand your soul. It is great to be comfortable, but you don’t evolve to the level your soul desires. 

Needless to say, my life does not look like how I had it planned out. In fact, it is quite different than I had envisioned. Is it bad? Not at all. In fact, to someone looking in it is pretty dam good.

I am healthy and fit. I have an amazing, supportive family with the best nieces and nephews. I make enough money to fully support myself and live in a nice place. I have a good vehicle to drive. I have very little stress except for the stress I impose upon myself.  I have a few close friends who are very supportive of me and are awesome to hang out with. I have a ton of freedom which I cherish very much so.

So, what is the problem? The problem is my perspective on what I thought my life should look like. I thought that because I didn’t plan for it to be this way that it must not be right. Something went terribly wrong in the Universe because this isn’t how I thought my life would look in my thirties.

So, I went on an eternal quest to find the ‘perfect life’. I encountered disappointment after disappointment.  I pushed and struggled to try to change it. I didn’t accept it to be what it is. I needed it to be different.

Life Lesson #1 – Don’t Be Eternally Stuck in the Past

I have to admit that I am very connected to my past and what hasn’t worked out the way I wanted it to. I dwell on the great things that left my life seemingly without my permission.

I didn’t ask this great guy to leave me so, why did he? I didn’t want to find another gym to work out at so why did the circumstances cause me to leave? I didn’t want to drift apart from old friends so why did it happen? I dwelled for far too long on the things that left me without my ‘permission.’

The thing is, that nothing left me without my permission. Everything that left me was for my highest good. My higher self knows this but my physical self needs some convincing. 

I pushed against the new things entering my life. I said “you aren’t good enough” because you aren’t exactly like the past thing that left. So, it was a struggle to find the good things again because nothing was ever the same as the thing that left or good enough. I was very attached to the past good things.

I overanalyzed everything instead of allowing it to be there. I analyzed why things were the way they were and what I may have done to cause it. Sometimes it isn’t about you but about the other party involved. Sometimes it is something THEY need to go through and you are just a cooperative component to them. This isn’t always the case but maybe in certain circumstances. It is often a lesson for both of you but can be just for the other party.

Nothing will leave your life if it isn’t supposed to. Those words are some of the most comforting words I have ever heard. No person, place, or thing will leave your life if it isn’t for your highest good. Heck, we can usually see in hindsight that it was for the best. But this doesn’t happen right away and can sometimes take years or decades even to realize.

Life Lesson #2 – Start Looking for the Good in My Present Life

Finally, I decided that what I was doing wasn’t working. I had to change, NOT the things around me. The things around me weren’t that bad anyway. So why was I resisting them so much? I finally truly understood what it was like to surrender and allow the things in my life to be in my life. They were there for a purpose even if I didn’t understand why.

I began to see why these new things came into my life and decided to work with them instead of against them. By just having this realization it dropped some resistance. I moved forward from where I was instead of worrying that these present things weren’t like my past things.

I truly had to trust in the universal plan and that my guides were guiding me in the right direction. A big message I received during my channeling sessions was to trust. Trust and allow. I knew I had to trust in something bigger than myself.

I looked for the lesson in the struggle instead of thinking that something had gone terribly wrong and that I needed to fix it.

I started to look for the good in my everyday life instead of chasing after some unrealistic expectation of what I thought my life was supposed to look like. You can’t completely eliminate every struggle in your life. This is something I had to learn and surrender to.

Life Lesson #3 – Stop Chasing the Dollar and Focus on Serving Others

When I first started my online business, I did it purely for the sake of having freedom and making a lot of money. Of course, I wanted to help others, but I’ll admit that it wasn’t my main focus, to begin with. Over time my focus has completely changed. I stopped caring about the dollar and focused on helping others by sharing my stories and lessons with them. I now understand that life is about helping others, not making a ton of money.

Of course, I’d still like to be able to do it full time and make some decent cash, but I have completely let go of the fact that I need to do it to make money. I trust that whatever life has in store for me is right for me. I trust that I am EXACTLY where I need to be right now.

The only thing I want to focus on right now is helping others and lifting the vibration of the planet. I’ve completely let go of the reigns that I was holding onto so tightly and stopped pushing so hard to make something happen that may not be in my soul’s blueprint. 

Life Lesson #4 – Personal Growth is a Continuous Process

Personal growth is a continual process. This is just one lesson I had to learn. It feels amazing to let go and allow your life to be what it should be. I was always someone who thought I had to focus 100% of my energy on what I wanted to change.

I used to be obsessed with my online business and I completely forgot about enjoying the little things in life. I forgot that there are other things such as real humans, not just the people we interact with online. My young nieces and nephews remind me what it’s like to have fun and be happy again.

Life Lesson #5 – I Am So Much Happier Surrendering to Life

Once I stopped chasing after what I thought my life should be and allowed it to be what it is, it has made a difference in my everyday life. My anxiety went away completely and I started to enjoy life more. I also don’t get social anxiety ever anymore. I am happier and don’t worry so much about things that never ever happen anyways. 

It opened the doors for new things to enter my life. I am having new experiences that I didn’t even know existed before I surrendered.

Life Lessons – One of the Biggest Ones I Learned on My Spiritual Journey

We cannot recreate an exact experience in life. When we try to, that is when we get anxiety, stress, depression, and fear. By trying to make the future the same as the past, we fail every time. Because we’ve already done those lessons and it’s time to move on to new and exciting things.

Lessons don’t have to feel bad and can even be to learn how to be happy. They can be rewarding and fulfilling. 

We all have life lessons here to help us accomplish what we came down to earth to do. It is such a huge thing to trust in the process of life.

Thankfully spirit has reminded me over and over to trust and have faith. If you take anything away from this message today it is to trust in the life that you have before you, it is exactly where you need to be right now.
