I will admit that I've had very few epiphany moments in my life. They usually come when I'm feeling sad, or upset with myself. I am fortunate to experience an enlightenment moment this morning.
I was watching the SuperSoul Sunday series on the OWN channel. It was a rerun of Oprah Winfrey interviewing Arianna Huffington (the creator of Huffington Post). I've never seen it before because I don't normally get this channel. Ms. Huffington was talking about her favorite quote by Rumi that she lives by: "Live life as if it is rigged in your favor." And then it hit me. As if she was talking directly to me and no one else. For the past three weeks, I've been carrying this sadness in my heart. I was beginning to lose myself in it. Not wanting to talk to people, letting the sadness over take who I am as a person. I was beginning to miss the real me. She went on to explain that things that happen to you, good or bad are actually things that help you grow. Why waste another minute thinking that life has screwed us up in some way? Why carry that negative way of thinking in your heart and in your mind? Make the switch from a negative point of view to a more positive one makes all the difference in the world! She went on to say that failure is only a stepping stone towards success. Which makes so much sense in the aspect of seeing failure be only a redirection in your life towards reaching your goal.
I've been dealing with heartbreak lately and today, I can finally see this pain in a new light. I'm giving myself permission to let the sadness go. Maybe it's not a mistake that this happened in my life. I want to believe that it's more of an opportunity to help me appreciate my life and all the things and people I have in it and to do the things that make me happy. I found a way of seeing my life in a new way. THANK GOODNESS!
And so with this in mind, I'm excited to see what the rest of my life will bring me. I'm giving myself permission to live life again and let the sadness go. I'm a strong believer that people come into our lives for a reason, and I feel that my ex-boyfriend now, came into my life to help me see my life in a different way. It was his choice to let me go. If I ever see him or get a chance to talk to him again, the first words that I plan to say to him are "Thank you."
I'm ready for this,
Mayra :)
