It's hard to accept that you don’t know what you are doing.
Our minds are quick to make us believe we have it all figured out. That our way is the ‘right way’. That we know what we are doing. That other people don’t know the true essence of life but (somehow) we do.
All it takes is, one blow to shake you off your ground. Next thing you know you fall on your face and find yourself back to square one.
You think you understand people, but realize you don’t. You think you know yourself, but now you can’t recognize your own shadow.
While you were busy riding unicorns over rainbows in fantasy land, real life passed you by.
You realize you are still at the mercy of your mind playing games with you. You still are a long way from mastering your emotions.
Mind, body, and soul that were once in line are now scattered.
At this sensitive time, you might go into a downward spiral of devaluing yourself. (I did)
Your self-confidence might take a hit. (Mine did).
You might feel you have every right to be angry. (I was, at myself, at the world)
But then, pause. Use this as an opportunity to humble yourself.
Accept that for a short bit, you were riding high on life and now the wave has changed direction. But isn’t that what a wave does best - change direction?
Dial back on what brought you here, is there a lesson for you?
You can either sink or swim. How you do it, is up to you.
So, yeah it's hard to accept that I don’t know what I am doing, but honestly, who does?
