At our core we are aware of the distance between our ego and enlightened living. We may not consciously be thinking of the lessons we need to grow but life is always seeking to align with our divine awareness.
When we find ourselves exposed to challenging condition with moral or emotional consequences, we can embrace them as lessons or ignore them as annoyance.
Pushing away the opportunity will only cause the disturbance to increase until we address it. The ego wants to maintain the status quo and endures the pain of growth as the fear of the perceived pain of change seems worse.
The agony of remaining where we are is tempered by familiarity and masked by routine.
The bold that are seeking growth will see beyond the illusory comfort of what has been and recognize “what could be” and choose to take the leap.
“Leap and the net will appear “
~John Burroughs~
