Life is a succession of circumstances, people and events. When we do not have sufficient attention and clarity, it is difficult for us to know what is really happening beyond what it seems. This makes us feel confused
A totally liberating key that has already helped countless people is define your current situation in a real and useful way
From my point of view, whatever happens, apparently, we are always doing, solely and exclusively, only two things: walking through the meadow or climbing the mountain.
Imagine that you are walking calmly through a valley and you are going along a very smooth lane with pretty trees and flowers around you while the sun is shining. It warms, but it doesn’t burn you. It’s nice, and you feel very good. This scene represents those moments in your life when you are comfortable
They are those moments in which you are not moving in any specific direction. Everything happens relatively easily. You are relaxed. Your day to day life is simple, and it doesn’t require much effort to cope with it.
Climb the mountain
As you already know, this is about something very hard and demanding: your muscles hurt, you feel tired and exhausted. During the ascent, your mind tells you to stop climbing that you can’t take it anymore and that you no longer want to continue and you question:
“Because I am here?”. “Why did this happen to me?”
This represents those moments in any life that are very uncomfortable and painful, in which something very severe has surely happened, such as a death or some type of illness in a family member, or perhaps you have lost your job or gotten divorced. All of these occasions require great effort on your part.
When you are in the middle of these circumstances, it seems that what you are experiencing is very bad, terrible even. However, what happens is that when you are walking through the meadow you are usually comfortable (even if you are in an uncomfortable reality), in a situation without challenges, pleasant or not, in which, of course, learning and advancement usually occur. be equal to zero.
The comfort zone
There is a stagnation in what is often called: “Comfort Zone”, in which you are not evolving. On the contrary, when you ascend towards the summit, you are fighting, learning, and every second is a challenge that requires you to take out and test your strength, learn new skills…
The mountain, or the obstacle, no matter how big it is, always ends, and once you climb it and crown it, you have reached the goal.
And you know what? The harder and longer the climb, the more beautiful the views are once you reach the top.
Imagine that you have already walked the path and you are at the top
The sun sets in front of you in the distance. You can see a beautiful landscape that unfolds before your feet and a green forest crossed by a beautiful river drawn in the distance, under the clouds. A flock of birds crosses that wonderful valley.
The higher the mountain, The more beautiful are the views you will see when you reach the top
Opening yourself to living the process with attention will provide you with the necessary learning and development of your abilities or skills such as inner strength, courage, perseverance… This will be of incalculable value for you and will allow you to live life, from the very beginning. moment when you reach the summit, in a fuller and more prosperous way.
Greater the challenge, greater the benefit
There is something you should also know, and that is that there are two types of mountains:
The ones that life gives us
They are inherent to existing, and we will all go through them sooner or later: illness, old age, death, accidents, romantic separations…
The ones you choose
Starting a relationship, starting a business, financial, physical goals…
Concluding…
So, from now on, be clear that nothing of what you have experienced and what is happening to you is good or bad.Either you are climbing the mountain (with all that that entails, pleasant and painful) or you are simply walking through the meadow. But he remembers: Only those who climb the most challenging peaks will be able to contemplate their best life.
