The unexpected is not a mistake, it is just life unfolding without asking your permission.
How much energy do we waste in reaction to unexpected events in our life? We rail, we fuss, we fume.
The fact that the unexpected happens is not strange. Rather, what is so strange is that we never seem to learn this simple and universal lesson: “Life” and “unexpected” are actually the same word.
We call something “unexpected” because our vision is too small and ego-centric. When we our view of reality becomes bigger, then we are better able to take life in and be with it. This is one of the main reasons we practice Yoga, to become bigger containers for all that is.
All fear springs from our disconnection to ourselves and thus with life. A big dose of the unexpected is life’s way of getting us back on track with living each moment.
Remember, just because something is unexpected, it does not follow that it has to be unwelcome. Open your heart and find out.
The unexpected is not a mistake, it is just life unfolding without asking your permission FIRST.
