Life sometimes has a harsh way of telling us that we are on the wrong path as we make our way through life. Sometimes despite our best efforts, it presents us with a challenge that forces us to change in some way. It gives us road blocks, dead ends, closed doors or a rejection that forces us to change direction. It can leave us feeling disillusioned, fearful, anxious and not knowing what to do or where to go. What we took for granted is no longer there anymore and we are left feeling scared, lost and searching for a solution.
This situation happens to all of us at different times in life. It can lead to financial disruptions, health crises, being forced to cancel plans, changes in living arrangements and family stress. It can lead to fear, blame, anger, shame, guilt and regret for not having been able to know better than to let it happen.
It can happen repeatedly, forcing you to question your bad luck and recurrent difficulties. Yet the truth is that if you step away from your confusion and struggles for a time, you can usually find the honest reasons why it keeps happening to you. Amongst your many thoughts of dread and fear, you can see that there was an unease with the way that you were living. There were reasons why you weren't happy with your situations. More than once, you wished for something that would make you happy. There was a knowing in your thoughts, that someday you would make the changes that would enable you to live a better life, according to what was important to you.
Unfortunately, like most people, even though you wished, hoped, prayed and secretly told yourself that you would find a way to do what you wanted, you never actually did anything about taking action to change things. Your fears and limited beliefs kept you in the same place. You were too afraid to let go of your everyday security to reach out for what you really wanted. It is normal because most people do the same thing.
But then you met the road block that threatened your emotional and physical security. It did not show up for nothing because the unexplained forces of nature are designed to help you even in the most confusing and worst moments of your life. It may not be the best way to prompt you make changes, but it sure got your attention because it stopped you and made it uncomfortable enough for you to have to rethink your life.
If this has happened to you, don't waste your dead end. Don't let fear threaten you to go back and repeat what you were trying to escape. Statistically most people go back to what they know because in a crises, we naturally seek security. The old saying. " the devil you hate is better than the devil you fear", is true for too many people.
When you hit a road block, take some time to walk away from your fears. Turn around and dare to go and find what it is that will enable you to discover the path that has been secretly calling you. Don't waste another chapter in your life, holding back from being and doing the things that make you happy.
Sometimes a dead end can be a very good thing if you see beyond its limitations.
