Resilience is like the four seasons.
Resilience is like the tree. The tree changes with the seasons because it lives and dies without complaint. Even better, a tree is a tree is a tree.
Why don’t humans live like the tree that knows itself?
At one time, mankind was as free as a bird because you could live anywhere you wanted and if you decided you didn’t like it or you just wanted a change, you could just pack up and move. Just try things out. You could always come back.
That’s true freedom.
Over 5000 years ago something drastic changed. Mistaken ideas and beliefs were deliberately planted into mankind’s psyche, which resulted in diminishing mankind’s freedom.
What was the purpose of doing this?
The reasons are few, but very important:
All these add up to making you feel inferior, helpless and in the end, hopeless and depressed. They got you.
Too many fell into this trap. They became confused because they’re tugged by their inner truth and by society that demands you obey! But it’s society that often wins. Yes, obedience to their rules is what they want.
Because of that, personal resilience is hard to come by because you’re told constantly to obey someone else’s rules. You’re told that you need to put up or shut up, no matter how unhappy you are.
People tell you where to live, how to dress, how to think, how to feel and you obey. Because of that, you FORGOT to trust yourself, your instincts, your inner truth.
You see, duty is part of the scam because it makes you feel obligated. If you don’t obey and do as they say, as a result, you can feel guilt and shame. In addition, this makes you do what they want you to do, resulting in more barriers to do what’s right for you!
That’s why you find resilience hard to attain. You simply can’t do as you see fit. So that lack of resilience has a huge price.
It’s sickness, injury, misfortune, repressed and suppressed feelings and emotions which lead to unwanted results. Why do you get these sudden or persistent pangs of self-doubt when you’re about to go ahead with something you really want to do? None of this is accidental!
The most successful people are themselves. In addition, they have goals and they go after them, work on them. They plan. But plans change because it’s really not up to us how things proceed. It’s okay to make plans to start, but please be flexible if things don’t go according to plans.
Stick to your goal though.
And speaking of goals. If they’re on the right side of good, then you’ll be on your way. Be open to the good that the Cosmos wants to give you.
If you’re on the wrong side of good, then don’t be surprised if bad things happen to you, endlessly, until the day you finally pay attention to what’s been happening to you and you WAKE up!
Look at Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Tiger Williams – when they were successful they were being themselves. Steve Jobs is probably one of the few who wasn’t easily influenced by others because he never stopped doing what he thought was best for himself and others.
I watched the movie “Elvis” and noticed something very striking between the young Elvis and the older Elvis. As a young guy starting out, he defied what everyone told him to act and dress. He did what he was good at, at being himself. He said that even his Christian mother agreed with what he was doing.
Later in life, he forgot that one truth – to be his True Self – and he followed someone else instead of leading himself. He suffered in the last year of his life. I could see that in the weight gain. The sadness and conflict was so evident. If he had only remembered the decision he made as a young artist, he would have continued to be successful, healthy and married to his best friend. But he gave up his autonomy. He could not say, “NO,” to guilt and conventional thinking.
Of course a successfully living person doesn’t have to become famous and well known. That’s not the point.
There has to be change. That’s part of what resilience is about. Allowing.
The change you want is transformation. Transformation occurs at the atomic level (let’s say, DNA.) This is the only type of change you want because it is lasting change! It happens inside you first before you see the results on the outside.
