Lifes Status Quo

When our lives are going well or not, we usually find ourselves living a status quo existence, a life, as we know it. Resisting change is a very human tendency. If it were possible to decide not to accept status quo in our lives, life would be simpler. Change will come and the status quo will go, eventually, with or without our permission. We find at the end of the day that we feel more empowered as we find the courage to ally ourselves with the universal force of change,

The answer is not to go about changing things at random, without regard to whether they are working or not. There is a time for stability and the preservation of what has been. In fact, the ability to stabilize and preserve what is serving us is part of what helps us to survive and thrive through this life. The problem comes when we focus on the status quo rather than honoring the universal truths. For example, if we allow a situation we are in to remain, because we are comfortable, it may be time for us to seek the courage to challenge this status quo.

It may be painful at times, or surprisingly liberating, yet it will likely be a little of both. Underneath the discomfort, we will find excitement and energy as we risk accepting the natural flow of the universal in our lives. As we dismantle the logjam inside ourselves, the river of our life can flow free. Once we remove the obstacles, we simply go with the flow, trusting the changes that follow, until the next time.
