You can get there from here

Have you ever felt as though 'where you're at' isn't 'where you're meant to be?' This gut feeling may be hard to explain.  Its like a spark of doubt that nudges you from time to time as if to distract you from what you're doing at that moment. What should you be?

If you suddenly feel as though you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, then its easy to get discouraged.  The negative energy may start to pour out in the form of disbelief, frustration, impatience, even anger.  Once you start this, a domino effect can ensue.

As you learn to step back from a given situation, you gain an insightful view of greater objectivity.  It becomes clearer that negative thoughts generate negative feelings and that one negative feeling gives birth to another, until you consciously put on the brakes. 

So, no matter what your conditions, you can begin by deciding they are good for you, even if you have yet to work out why.  You can choose to believe that where you're at is a stepping stone on the road where you're meant to be.  This is part of an inner process.

Where you are and where you're going are based on your perception.  As you evolve to discern positive reasons for being where you are, you begin to realize how your conditions serve you.  A shift in mindset doesn't require you travel.  Growth is a choice.

Hi Liara,
Positive thinking and positive living has been my core for a long time. There just isn't much purpose in negativity.

I don't believe any of us are ever in the wrong place at the wrong time. We are exactly where we need to be to grow into our harmony. The reason it may cause negativity is that we are resistant to change. If we leave ourselves open to the gifts of the universe (inner and outer), we can celebrate their delights in our actions.

Alexys, your views are truly a delight. As human beings evolve, they learn every situation is meant to be as it is. If a person doesn't grasp the benefits or blessings of conditions at a given moment, that helps explain why those conditions persist. As you rise above self-defeating thinking, you evolve at soul level and you expand perspective expoentially.

Well Liara to answer your first question all the time! As I go through life I have just piled up too many of these "coincidental" moments for there not to be more depth and meaning to them.

Hence, I too no longer look at a situation from a negative stance. I know there is a greater purpose for it, even when it does not seem so on the spot. There is growth and learning in everything - it is just up to us to choose to see that or negativity.

I also like what Alexys wrote about being resistant to change - I think currently. that is the biggest downfall, preventing human beings from experiencing themselves in a grander light of being, enabling them to heal themselves and the planet.

Evita, different levels of self-understanding exist. As you discern, some human beings block a deeper sense of self by giving into negative emotions. There is a difference between believing greater purpose exists than the obvious and experiencing that core purpose at soul level. Every creature evolves at its own pace. The power of though is the greatest natural force. What is assumed doesn't even touch the surface of the infinite.
