What do challenges mean?
What challenges you? Do challenges mean difficult times? Do challenges mean breaking through?Do challenges bring the best out of you?
Human beings mostly function in two domains- cause or effect.Let me elaborate a little more. People are mostly in the effect domain- complaining about life. “This is the reason why i could not do it, it is because of this person i was not able to do this”. “It is because of this situation, my greatest version cannot come”. Statements like these are popular among groups and people keep telling each other about reasons of why they are not where they want to be.
The people in cause domain are more responsible-embracing life to it’s fullest and taking responsibility of actions.“This situation is happening in my life because i caused it. “Nobody is responsible for my mess except myself”. This domain is where one can live consciously to completely transform one’s life.
Right now, all that is happening is we are living unconsciously. Everything we do is compulsive and reactive. I met Sadhguru yesterday in Bangkok. Just as he was giving his discourse, he asked us to point towards him. Everyone pointed towards his magnetic aura.
Then he told us that he was actually the light that hit our retina and projected his form in front of us. What he was trying to tell us was that whatever happens in the world starts within you.
You carry the whole world inside you.Everything is a projection of our perception and our habituation to it has made us live unconsciously. As human being we have the ability to stabilize our inner experience. Only when we react to outer conditions can we create chemicals that are not good for us- hate, anger, jealousy. All reactions are unconscious while responses are more conscious and less harmful
Results say that a person poisonous himself when he is in a contionuis rage for five minutes. It was proved by a blood test before and after his rage.
There is a need for people to do some inner engineering within themselves. This is the only way we can liberate ourselves. The only way we can live a more fulfilled,conscious, joyous and happy life.
Challenges come into our lives because we have become courageous to come out of our comfort zones. They have come to ripen us, make us more strong in all aspects of our lives. So learn from all your challenges, they are the ones that keep you going. With every second, time does not go but instead your life is going so you can either wine saying- “Why me?” or rise high into the sky saying “It is because of me”.
