Own What Has Happened By Sam Foo At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

I believe that we cannot heal without owning our circumstances. It’s important that we not fall into feeling we have special problems no one else has. Telling our life stories over and over from the perspective of “the wound” not only focuses our attention on the negative in our live, but is a crutch that too-often rationalizes inaction and keeps us stuck. It does not serve us to think that we can’t change our lives because our problems are special or insolvable. Many of us do have severe handicaps – be they mental, physical, or emotional. We all have challenges to face, and that fact gives us the unique opportunity to become who we were meant to be. For example, as a youth, the greatest psychologist Dr. Milton Erickson was paralyzed by polio. He spent years in an iron lung. During that time the only thing he could do was move his eyeballs. He spent countless hours observing people who came into his room. Years later this observational ability allowed him to become an innovative master of human nature and motivation, leading him to develop a unique and effective method of therapy.

I believe that it is through these specific (and maybe even necessary) challenges that our life purposes and our characters are developed. We all have justifications for feeling “Why me?” What then do we do?

Your life is inevitably changing in a particular direction. Why? Because at some level you already know what you want and where you want to go. That inner directive alone will attract insights and ideas of what to do, as well as opportunities and the right people to achieve the goal. Your inner state of being is always working to fulfill your destiny, and you have the best chance to receive new ideas and a broader perspective when you are relaxed, open, and empowered by the belief that your life can and will change for the better.
