We have heard a lot about
drawing circumstances in our
lives as a way of saying that we
are to be blame for all that
happens to us. Others say that
circumstances do happen at random
to us which we have no control
over. Well, to say that things
happen to us at random, is the
same thing as saying that we are
powerless therefore we are
destine to live whichever life we
are experiencing at the moment.
On the other hand, blaming
ourselves for the circumstances
we have generated in our lives
leaves us with a sense of
frustration or guilt. Guilt
because by creating that type of
circumstances some people feel
they are bad or they have failed,
and frustration because they do
not even know how or why they
have drawn those particular set
of events in their lives.
The truth is, nobody is bad
nor a failure because
circumstances have appeared in
their lives, regardless of their
nature. In order for us to expand
in conscious awareness,
circumstances are drawn into our
lives, not to punish nor to add
misery to our existence but to
help us grow. And if we are the
ones seeking growth, then we are
the ones who either consciously
or subconsciously draw those
experiences in our lives.
The advantage of being able to
say that we have drawn a
particular circumstance or set of
circumstances in our lives gives
us the power to change them.
Because if we are the ones who
created something we also can
recreate something else.
Otherwise we are at the mercy of
some external power which is
nothing but an illusion because
the greatest power that there is
resides deep within ourselves.
All we have to do is to recognize
it and use it.
To blame is not to change for
the following reasons. And
individual who takes
responsibility simply says, this
is what I have created and I
choose to create something
different. On the other hand,
someone who blames is simply
saying, "this is my luck, there
is nothing I can do about it,"
and so on. Given the ability to
choose, I rather regain my power
by taking responsibility for
whatever happens in my life.
The question is, how can we go
through those challenging moments
and maintain a sense of serenity
and peace? My answer to that
question is to understand that
everything is working in divine
order for our highest good. I
remember during Christmas season,
I had to move out of my apartment
in order to cut down on my rent
because as a performer I was
spending a lot of time on the
road. I was facing some financial
challenges doe to a property that
I sold which we found out had a
tax debt of $42,000. Thinking I
was going to be able to live from
the profit of the sale of the
property, I didn't booked
anything for a few months. There
I was, no income coming and
having to leave my apartment.
Few days before I had to leave
the place many situations arise
that supported me during that
time. A particular storage place
was having a Hoyday special
cutting their prices in half for
the folloring three months,
people with vehicles and
equipment helped me move, friends
which I have not seen in a while
showed up in my life and offered
me their place for me to stay,
others who were leaving town
would ask me to take care of
their place, etc. There I was,
having no place to call my own,
yet my first few days was in a
$600,000 house, then it was in a
beautiful condo in Santa Cruz, CA
for a week, then in a nice
apartment in North Hollywood for
few weeks. I was living in luxury
treated like a king. All because
I didn't get caught up in what it
was happening. By doing so I was
able to keep my awareness in
peace therefore drawing, or you
may say creating new
circumstances that would support
me as opposed to disempower me.
The result, I was able to stay
in places without having to pay
any rent while I was out of work
so that when I get back on the
road I could save the money for
other projects. I could have
chosen to blame anything or
anyone else for my circumstances,
who knows, I might have ended up
in that apartment and would have
missed all the wonderful
experiences I shared with family
and friends during the days I
spent with them. Or worse,
homeless with a grungy attitude
so that no one would want to be
around me. Regardless of what is
going around, there are two
things I know, one is that Life
is Good! Why, because I am
sitting here writing this piece
for the world to see. Second,
because I have the choice to do
otherwise. And last but not
least, I am always taken care of,
and so are you. Just remember
these words by a great master;
"look at the birds in the sky,
they neither sow nor reap, nor
gather into barns, yet your
heavenly father takes care of
them. Aren't you more important
than they are? Oh you of little
faith? [Matthew 6:26]
