To live the life you want to live; you first need to show the will and the courage to live the life you don’t want to live.

There are some of us fighting a long-drawn battle with life. Meaning, we are resisting life, its events, its people, its situations, circumstances etc. And then we question why life isn’t going the way we want. Why things aren’t changing? Why we are stuck in repetitive patterns that seem to be never ending? Why there are disappointments and despair?

All such people who are in a scenario like this, there’s just one thing to do. Accept life the way it is. Live without rejecting it, questioning it, fighting it. Live with the faith that at this point what is, is accurate. Even if you have to act to challenge certain things externally, don’t question why, don’t feel anxious about it or don’t seek them to be something else. Just do what is necessary and maintain inner silence. Honour each present moment as it must be honoured, show the courage and the will to be with life not against it. Even if things are going terribly wrong, develop the courage to accept them as they are.

Because when you show the will and the courage to live the life you don’t want to live, you not only honour life but also your karmic mandate. You rise above yourself, your ego, your limited mindset, and this way you settle karma faster. Which means you remove the blocks that are between you and your desired life. But when you resist the life you are living, when you remain disconnected from the present moment and yearn for something else, you make your karmic burden stronger and heavier. This way, the blocks to your desired life, increase.
