Getting Rid Of Roadblocks In Life

One of the things that I have learned is that it isn't always easy to move past things in life.  Getting rid of roadblocks in life can be quite a challenge.  Of course, I'm not telling you anything you probably don't already know, but hopefully I'll share some things that have worked for me.

The roadblocks that stand in front of us in life are there to help us.  Really, I know - it probably doesn't feel that way, but its true.  The more we face, the more we see things differently in life and understand things that the average person does not.  Yet, I fully understand the frustration in dealing with all of this and wondering how to move past it.

When dealing with blocks in life, it is important to allow yourself to be there with them in peace.  As hard as it may be for you to be at one with them, the more you allow them to overpower you, the more power they hold over you.  The more power they hold over you, the more they rob you of precious strength to make the changes you need to in life.  Hence, allow yourself to be there with them in peace.

The blocks in life are going to come up at various points.  You can guarantee that they will show up.  It is up to each person individually as to what they do with theses things.  The part that will hold us down is the part where we give our power over to these moments.

Giving Up On People

I saw a quote that just about makes my blood boil because it makes it just that much harder for a person to heal on their own personal journey.  In the quote, words were stated that its ok to give up on people because they don't care about their own healing or give the appearance that they don't.  Maybe you could make some type of an argument that this is the case, but like most feel good thoughts on the internet these days, this quote is more hurtful than helpful.

A healer's job is not to sit there and pass judgment on a person as to when they should care, when they should be ready to heal or move ahead.  It may feel good and give you credibility, but it really misses the point of healing.

A healer's job is to be there with someone out of pure and unconditional love.  While you  may think you know what is best for someone, most likely you do not know what is going on in the neural synapses of their mind and body.  You may claim that you do, but the only person that knows that is the individual walking their own path.

Transitions and Transformations

Lately, I've had so many moments that have stretched me, pushed me, bumped me, and at times they have knocked me down.  While it has been intense lately, I'm still going through major moments of transitions and transformations.  Things are unfolding even as I write these words.

Often we ask for things and we seek things out, but they don't come packaged in the way we expect.  All too often, we look for them in a prepackaged box, only to discover that this is not how they arrive.  When this happens, we often miss them because in our own human insight, if it isn't what we are looking for, we don't see it.

About a year ago, I got a call at the last minute to go down and do a computer install job.  It was on a Sunday and I thought, sure - why not?  I was struggling for income and work at the time.  When I went down to the work site, I saw that it was very chaotic and everyone was trying to figure it out, while trying to train people such as myself.  Little did I realize that this day would open up into so much more for me and become a very strong source of income and fulfillment.  I thought I would never find work that was fun to do and something I looked forward to getting up in the morning and working on.
