FRIDAY THOUGHTS #86: IT'S ALL RIGGED IN YOUR FAVOR

It's all rigged in your favor. 

I had a great moment this afternoon while at the gym.  I had a challenge happen last week that really bothered me...I've gotten really good in the past year of conditioning my mind to choose not to be bothered by circumstances and situations - in other words, I've gotten really good at not allowing things to remove my peace.  We all make these choices every single day of what we allow to emotionally move us and we have complete power over how we choose to interpret any situation...good or bad. I understand this concept, however, this concept was truly put the test last week when something touched on a deep-seeded nerve and insecurity that caused me a lot of hurt and anger...and I couldn't just shake this one off, I tried.  I know that I'm the captain of my emotional ship but this was too big a boat for me to easily shake off, I had to really sit with this one...the discomfort was unnerving! It was even affecting my sleep. I was very angry and I wanted some sweet, good ole fashioned "get-back".

I'm proud of myself that I didn't allow myself to give in to my emotions and do something that I would really regret later. 

It wasn't until this afternoon while at the gym it all hit me! I had a perfect peace about the situation and I fully realized what I always knew deep down, I just finally had a full understanding of why that situation was so necessary for me.  It was a beautiful moment when the thing that has caused you so much pain within seconds causes you so much joy.

It was just a confirmation of what I've talked about for years: life is a video game and this entire game is rigged in your favor. All of it. Every painful situation, every happy situation and everything in between is here to teach and grow you if you allow it.

So allow it. Embrace the discomfort and the answers will come. I see you champions. #bless
