Dear human, life isn’t here to punish You!

Life’s not here to punish us but to guide us, the thing is; we tend not to listen and many suffer the consequences of their own ignorance.

As human beings who mostly tend to forget that — we are spiritual beings living a human being experience, there are times we also forget that we are in control of everything yet we tend to think that life is just here to punish us and take advantage of us.

Well. I know when things happen to us we always tend to refer to them as bad stuff — or, sometimes we even go far and say things like; life sucks, yet, in reality, things happen for our own growth and for a magnificent expansion — and truly; none of that can happen without breaking up the old beliefs that we carry within us.

Also, it doesn't really matter what happened or what’s happening to us— we always need to be aware that; life is always here to guide us and lead us to where we want to be.

It's like me putting it from a different perspective that; life’s not here to punish us but to always guide us to our deepest desires.

The thing is we tend not to listen and many suffer the consequences of their own ignorance.

So many individuals let life happen to them and think like they are here to be punished or they are cursed so bad things are supposed to happen to them — so many stupid beliefs, you can’t imagine.

They will sit and cry, some will even go further and conclude that people are bad so does their lives too.

They truly forget that they do have power over their lives yet they let what happened to them define who they truly are today.

Maybe, they just need to forgive themselves yet be hard on themselves.

Or they want to heal themselves yet they don’t have the courage to do so.

Or they just want to forget what happened to them yet they still want to act like victims — and honestly; you can't go in the direction of the things that you want in life while focusing on the unwanted.

I don’t blame them (or, if you are among them; you) or condemn them (or if you are among them; you) yet my intention is for you to understand life from a different perspective — from a different standpoint.

That you are a human being — and that means you were meant to drive life, not life driving you. Anything that happened to you can be used as a way for you to get to know what your inner desires are ( what you want or what works for you) or that which does not support you so that you have the courage to let go.

However, we condemn life and think whatever happens to us must be termed as a bad thing so we do spend our time and energy on what went wrong instead of focusing on what works.

We, humans — as intelligent creatures; need to understand life way beyond our physical senses, that life isn’t here to punish us, but to give us guidance on what work for us regarding our inner desires.

And if we miss guidance and hit problems — life is still here to remind us how worthy we truly are and that we can’t get it wrong and that we are never done.

If we do treat life from that dimension then no event or situation in life will hold us back but we will come to the realization that;

..to every situation and setback in life, it is a way for us to unfold and expand ourselves to a deeper dimension of who we truly are.

Ooh! How beatifuly this life is :)

Dear human, life isn't here to punish us but to guide us.

Be open to guidance and things will work out for you immensely.

Life’s really good.

I think LG got the right logo.

And I stole it as my motto :)
