Don't shake your head yet! Because, no, this isn't another pitch about the law of attraction, though I do believe in and utilize that as much as I'm humanly able. No, this is a thought process in awareness; one that identifies one of the many facts of life.
What's the secret?
Life is nothing like you are expecting, yet everything that you are needing.
When life handed you a stomach full of butterflies at your first day of kindergarten, it was giving you exactly what you needed: a premonition of great and wonderful things to come, along with the inevitable warnings for bumps to watch out for in and amongst your discovery of new experiences. Same thing when your first true love decided to be in love with someone else. Life was building your toolbox: your self awareness, your understanding, your experience based knowledge. And experience based knowledge is irrefutably the most solid, unforgettable knowledge available to you in this world.
The funny part is that everyone knows this on some level of consciousness, but humans have the uncanny ability to downplay our own confirmed experience based knowledge ... in the face of emotional stress, or abbreviations at the end of other people's names, or under unfamiliar circumstances ... We tend to instill and embrace self doubt for some strange reason.
You don't see animals self sabotage with such amazing repetitive success. They acknowledge that what is good is good, and what is bad is bad. Unlike humans who think, "Well, it wasn't so good last time, but I'm sure it'll be good this time."
What?
Why do we so often sabotage ourselves with the belief that something better can come of the same repetitious actions? Because we neglect to recall the Secret of Life:
It's nothing like you are expecting, yet everything that you are needing.
We have the thumb and the intellect. Now can we combine those with our intuition?
