Surmountable

We lay awake in the middle of the night, running the problems around in our mind like a spinning washing machine or a butter churner, we are well lathered up as we work ourselves into a frenzy. Considering nothing but the catastrophe that will ensue with all our problems. How small, dependent, unable and inadequate we are, how complicated, insurmountable and irresolveable our problems are. How inconveniencing and suffocating things are. How much we have earned the right to be anxious, perturbed and distressed. We justify and brag about our insomnia and we seek willing misery party attendees to prop up our desperate situation to the elevated state of pain and impossibility. We find a warped and twisted comfort in our justified response of panic and reactivity. We make no time to calm our agitations but accept that we have and are suffering beyond measure. We consider our losses to be absolute and irrecoverable, we hold tightly to our meagre resources as we operate from a state of scarcity. We figure we will lose so much money and time that can not be replaced. We fight aimless battles over what we consider dwindling resources. We do not see the regeneration, restoration, replenishment and abundance of the universe. Our approach to life is stifled, squashed, restrictive and limiting, pain runs through our heart as we consider our potential losses, be it material, financial or relational losses.

Our problems and issues are surmountable! Yes we might lose money, resources and time, but all can be replaced. The experience and learning process embedded in the problem can be leveraged to greater advantage in subsequence endeavours. Those difficulties are the essential building blocks for growth and entrance to the next level of accomplishment. Unless this seed drops onto the ground and die, there is no resurrection. Blockages in the mind, in our thought process are what hinders the free flow of ideas and solutions to combat the trials we face. In the same manner that plague, clots and fat clog up blood vessels, anxiety, worry and panic clogs up our creative ability. Our minds are weighed down preventing the solutions from shining forth. As long as the earth remains, there will be problems, difficulties and trials. There will be risks but how do we manage the risks? In the same manner that we need to widen and clear the blood vessels to ensure the free flow of life blood, we need to operate on our mind and clear it of the negative responses. Every time we feel compression, anxiety and panic we are failing to see the full picture and have limited ourselves to the ugly side of the frame. There is a good side and our situation is surmountable! Let us hold this thought and allow the brain to do it’s job of bringing out the solution.
