When Things Don’t Go as Expected – How Do We Address the Disappointment, Hopelessness, and Suffering?

Has something recently fallen through in your life? Perhaps it isn’t that something you desired didn’t occur, but that something you feared has become your reality. This episode addresses both scenarios, inviting you to a compassionate space where I lay it all down for my listeners: the inevitable grief, the disillusionment, the questioning, and even the negative judgments about ourselves and others. We don’t linger here for long, though. I know we hear the message that we are creators of our reality. Therefore when something falls out of place in the picture we’d sketched so carefully for our lives, we panic and instantly make what’s happening to be a statement about us, about our worth, about our capacity to have better, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. These unexpected turns, most of the time, say nothing about you and everything about where your specific path is calling you to turn to at this time. Tune in to hear about how we can start listening to this redirection. This episode will touch upon why comparing our path to somebody else’s is irrelevant when setbacks are assured for everyone; why becoming dependent on a fast pace for living life is hurting you more than aiding you; the cathartic meaning found in suffering; how unexpected occurrences crack our emotionality open for the expansion of our consciousness; and finally, how we can practically reapproach a desire that fell through with improved intentionality and focus.
