“It is so basic in us to feel that things should go well for us, and that if we start to feel depressed, lonely, or inadequate, there’s been some kind of mistake or we’ve lost it. In reality, when you feel depressed, lonely, betrayed, or any unwanted feelings, this is an important moment on the spiritual path. This is when real transformation can take place.”
~ Pema Chodron
Sometimes we have to get to the depths of despair before we find the resolve required to turn our predicament around. Deep down inside we know that we’re deserving and we know we’re capable.
There’s real meaning behind the saying, “it’s darkest before the dawn”. Because you know, my friend, it’s life experience that triggers the resolve that beckons the transformation.
So let it happen and prepare to ride the wave back up to the peak. This is the joy of life!
