Stop Struggling

Do your best and things will work out if it's really for you. Sounds kind of lame though encouraging. The reality is that we struggle, have a difficult time, feel sad, feel oppressed, presented with our limits, wondering when we will reach our goal, wondering why life can sometimes be so difficult.

Faith, trust, hope - these words seem overrated, overused in times of trouble. When the point in time is the darkest searching for the light at the end of the tunnel, we see a glimmer that appears and then it moves, could we have been fooled?

We close our eyes and even in the darkness there are spots, circles, the colors appear. We may introspect and see light in our mind's eye, the third eye opens and the world changes. It's over, the feeling is like it's so over - yet then once we stop struggling and let go, we will realize that it is not the end of the world, there is tomorrow.

Feeling a couple of raindrops, looking up to the overcast sky, hoping that the rain will fall but it does not fall at all. Losing something is akin  to dying, the blessed reason for living is to feel the passions of the heart, isn't it, instead of the lost zen of peace? The peace that comes with acceptance of the situation will set us free. Holding on means that it is precious. When you set it free, it will come back if it is yours.
