As young kids, apart from coloring books,
we had books where we had to connect dots to make a picture. I never realized
that it was one of the most profound exercises we did. Today, as an adult, I am
connecting the dots of my life episodes and thinking about how meaningless it
was to rave and rant and fret and fume about what I wanted and could not get or
what I could have achieved but was blocked etc. I tend to smile now because the
picture is clear after the dots are connected. And there was never any need to
feel all that negativity.
I learnt that the process of learning
starts when you stop the blame game and start understanding why things happened
the way they did.
The Divine plan is perfect. We, as humans,
are not, because we don't recognize our core strengths or the nature and
quality of our source energy. What we are not meant for during any phase in our
lives is because we are not ready for it or something else must be experienced.
Like your parents telling you that you have to finish your homework before you
can go out and play. But the child only wants to play.
When the fires of expectations from life
are kind of quelled is when we are able to think clearly. When the clouds of
discontent and disappointment disappear is when we can see the sunshine coming
through.
And all this happens when we connect the
dots and review our lives, so many blessings and so many phases of happiness
and joy which, if not sustained, were so only because of our erratic attitudes.
Living and learning, maturing and becoming
wiser and calmer... the journey of life goes on.
