Life - Challenges - Emotions and Feeling!
Life is a wonderful journey. There are thousands of emotions in us which makes it colorful and makes the journey more meaningful. Our emotions are like an ocean full of waves. If we can learn how to surf there we can enjoy the ride. And if not we will sink in our own emotions, is not it right?
“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
That's exactly what it is. When we try to stop the wave of life, we stop the learning process, we lose the capacity to face the challenge and gradually it makes our life less excited. Many of us prefer a smooth life. But a smooth life is a myth and I think it will be never enjoyable.
Emotions are part of our identity. Understanding them and learning how they works can give us a clue on how to ride on the crazy waves. But if we try to control them it will make things worse, not enjoyable and meaningless. Our challenges make our life meaningful. If we try to stop the flow of life, we will lose the connection which makes it meaningful.
That's when it becomes very important to learn self-awareness to appreciate our emotions, feeling and discover deeper healing. When we choose to discover our emotions rather than numb them we create an opportunity for ourselves to discover the true meaning of life. There's no way to control what's happening around us and no need to control also. Rather we always can choose to ride well with the flow to discover our life in a meaningful way.
When we achieve the courage to go with our deeper feelings and emotions we became more capable than our thoughts and emotions. It gives us a balance to ride the waves gracefully!
