Most of us talk about the ways in which life works against us. We focus on short-comings and miss small glimmers of light that show us the bigger picture at work. If you want to change your life, it’s time for you to learn to see how life works for you; it does. How life can and will work for you if you choose to look closely at that little sparks of hope that happen each day. You must look closely.
We often build our lives around big events and big moments. Moments that we see as tangible and real. Therefore, it’s not surprising that we have trouble seeing the minute moments and events that happen each day. As result, we do not seize these gifts which in turn will help us in both big and small ways. To simplify this, the best way for me to explain this is through human connection. Have you thought of all the people you know and their relation to one another? One of the things we all began to realize with social networks like Facebook is that people share many of the same connections. To clarify, the people they know.
Connecting The Dots
As you know, if you have been following, I am an artist. A term, that in my mind is composed of many things. I am a creative individual and express myself through various mediums. This site is one of the ways I connect with people around the world. In my own life, I have begun to see how life is working for me. Lately, I have been connecting the dots and realizing that that path I am on isn’t haphazard. Whether you believe in destiny or fate, you can’t deny that some people are meant to be in your life. Further, life will lead you to where you want to be through people.
When you grow up listening to artists on the radio and then find yourself working with the same people and within the same space as them. You can’t help but see the dots that connect to one another. Each point leading you to the next. Understanding that without these connections that took place, you would not be where you are today. Once you begin to recognize the importance of this dotted map that is happening every day. You will then draw from it in ways that will help you towards your goals in life.
As you know, there are many paths you can take to get to one given goal. There is never “a right” way of doing things. This connected map will give you many routes. If you pay attention you will see the connection each route has and how the universe gives you many chances. It’s up to you to see it and take what’s been given to you. There is always something there to assist you. Whenever you question if you are on the right path. Look for the cues, put together that dots that must be in some way connected. You will find your answer there.
Some things just don’t connect. No matter how hard you try to make them fit, in the long run, they never work. These dots were not meant to be part of your life map. Don’t waste your time trying to make them fit. I am sure you can think of many things, moments, even people that you tried to make fit into your life. It’s sometimes it’s hard to discern what’s best or right for us versus what we want at the moment. Wants can derail you, take you off course. The things that you need are a bigger part of the plan. Wants aren’t always a bad thing, it all a matter of seeing their place in the big the scheme of it all.
How We Are Connected
Take a look at your surroundings. Where you live, how you live and the people you surround yourself with. What you surround yourself with will dictate your path and what the universe keeps bringing to you. This notion has more to do with the choices you make in regard to what’s happening. In no way are you at fault for the things that are beyond your control. It is up to you to be creative and look for ways to move to a better phase in your life.
Don’t let anyone make you think that you are stuck, that it’s not possible. Take a moment, think about it carefully. You will find that light of hope that will help you connect the dots and move towards where you want to be. Recognize the importance of human connection. How connected we all are, we just need to get back to communicating. People are also, the connecting force on your journey towards your goals. The only way to harness this connection is through recognizing the qualities of individuals around you. In addition, seeing the ways in which we can help each other.
Let’s say, you want to be a writer and you keep meeting people or through your network of friends have access to individuals in the same craft. Look at this as your light of hope where you can ask questions, learn and open gateways that guide you on your journey. Remember, the universe is always trying to get you in the right place. It’s up to you to recognize it.
Spend less time worrying, more importantly talking about what doesn’t work. If there is no solution, learn from it, move on and let it go. Start a new plan and look for connections you ignored that may still be there to help you or support you in some way. Everything you need at that moment is there to help you. A habit many of us have it looking beyond the present moment only to look back and see what we missed. This is a choice. You won’t have to look back if you do everything you possibly can at that given moment.
Never lose sight of the bigger plan and how everything is connected. This will help you make better decisions and you won’t miss great opportunities designed just for you.
