Ever feel like running from your life circumstances?

We have all had those moments or days in which we desire something better—a different lifestyle, a new experience, or a better set of circumstances. We may abandon our current situation and move into a new circumstance, only to find that the things that we were running from continue to show up in our new situation.  It is then that we realize that we are the common denominator and . . . “wherever we go, there we are”!

We cannot run from ourselves. If we run from a certain situation, we generally recreate the same dynamic in a new place.  Avoidance does not promote true growth.

To be free and to feel happy, we must first accept our circumstances and ourselves exactly as we are, right here, right now.  While we may not be able to change our circumstances, we can change our perception of them, and we can step back and begin to see the “bigger picture” of why things are the way they are.

So what is the secret to staying where you are and working life through?

The first step is to surrender to your current situation. See if you can stop your mind for a few seconds and know that peace is an option. When there are no fearful thoughts, there are no worries.

You begin to realize that you are creating this life in your mind and can release feelings of fear and hurt, or even the idea that you have enemies. It is our mind and our thoughts of judgment that cause these experiences to come to us.   Through our thoughts, we create our life conditions.  Hence, we create our own reality.

Instead of running from life circumstances, seek to raise the energy to the highest level in each moment right where you are. Remember that the only way out is through.  Change your thoughts and you change your life!
