Setback is a state of mind

Human beings give much of their own energy away. If you choose to believe in mistakes, setbacks and failures, it is also possible to reframe all events as meaningful experience now.  To step back and view a situation from a detached point of view changes the impact.  What if 'mistakes' are lessons you have not yet learned on your path to self-acceptance? 

Every moment, many people are holding themselves back from accepting all that they are.  People judge or analyze much of what they observe.  Listen to yourself.  Listen to people around you.  What do they say? How are they inviting conditions they say they do not want?  Notice where you place your attention.

From the moment you view yourself as healed, gifted, successful, knowledgable, enlightened, some part of you already tells you this is not true. The mind interferes with its own agenda.  This separates you from what you know and from all that you are.  Human beings spend their lives telling themselves what they are not as an exercise in forgetting what they are.  Where do you stand on this?  Are you perfect now?

Perpetual change

No event, no relationship, no feeling, no joy or sadness, no situation, ever stays the same.  All setbacks are a matter of perception. Even setbacks themselves change. Why? Higher Forces empower us to shape our perception, to evole with our understanding and acceptance of that which does not change. The external world is constantly changing but only as the physical senses see things.

It may be a revelation but you are not the center of the universe.  The essence of being is one of many expanding universes.  Humans are but a small part. The big picture is constantly changing, and we constantly participate in and contribute to the changes inside ourselves and around us.

We have at least two choices; to resist change or participate in and embrace change. Every change can be resisted. Every change can be facilitated by cooperation and good will. How will you choose to act today to further clarify your own sense of success?

"There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control." -Leo F. Buscalgia
