Why Me?
Everyone of us has all had the feeling of negative situations and circumstances like a snowball, rolling downhill. When it rains it pours, they say, and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. However, when positive circumstances occur and good things happen they too, can roll uphill, to defy the laws of gravity, as grace often does.
I met a dear and beautiful soul this past weekend. She is a vibrant and strong person and it doesn’t take long to notice this woman has been through it in the past and lives through the knowledge she has gained from life experiences. But, it isn’t hard to see that in her eyes, and in her heart is the light of an angel. I can feel her intentions and motivations in life are pure and that goodness is what she is born with, while the world is determined to jade this plight. So, it was quite the shocking experience when she came to my door and entered with what appeared to be a shotgun, livid and about to erupt a volcano upon anyone who might be the reason and motivation behind this action. Calmly and quickly my heart had a conversation with hers and the gun (turns out it was a bb gun) was ushered out of the situation and rational crept to the surface.
She had left my house late and there were only a couple hours between visits, in which she went to her place of residence where there is much negative energy and turmoil to catch some sleep. In this short amount of time, her car was expertly broken into and all the belongings she had packed in the car the day prior due to an unsafe and unhealthy living situation, had been stolen from her vehicle. Feelings of untrust, disbelief and loss were written on her face like a nightmare. My heart felt for her, hurt for what she had lost. I, myself was unaware and not too secure in what I would say or do to change her thinking so that she acted from reason and not revenge. However, I knew that the incident was an inside job and that someone she cared about had been the force behind this. After telling her my thoughts, I pulled 3 cards regarding the situation and her loved one in which I suspected had been the culprit. all three cards were upside down and insinuated the betrayal. I pulled another three cards, and these were for her and her next moves. Before I pulled these she said “but why me? I am a good person!” And my response was simply that the universe was testing her in her own reactions. It was her time to shine and do the not so self gratifying rebuttal. The cards she pulled were to the point and harmless. The best thing that they could have said was “ Do what you do, and do it your absolute best, then do this and do it even better”. This made her smile and I knew we had a successful trade of wisdom and irrational emotion.
The moral of this is that it is too easy to see red and flash into irrational actions and thought when we are wronged. However, no matter what happens to us in life, it occurs as a lesson for us to learn from. If we can always keep the greater view in mind, then we can keep in the light that God has presented our hearts to dwell in. It is important to see what can be learned from the negative that life can throw at us, for it is this that can keep us from make further mistakes and these lessons will be recalled upon in future happenings in life. If you feel that the negative is lingering, try a good turn toward another, because this is a good karma chip that will help positive begin to snowball upwards.
