Frustration is naturally born alongside the incredible event of Self Realization. With newfound knowledge of our innate gifts comes the desire to immediately embrace and live our true creative reality. Discovery of our higher self is only the beginning, followed by implementation upon an ethereal path of sand, requiring constant focus and vigilance. Frustration is a constant companion as we plod along this unsteady surface towards spiritual freedom. We have the vision .. we know what it is we should be doing for a fully gratifying existence .. and because we have the vision and the knowledge, we are frustrated by that uncertain path beneath our feet. That path is our constant reminder to regain focus as we slide to the left or the right. That path is our teacher and prophet, assuring us we will be able to continue and advance if we pay attention to every step before us on our new journey. Focusing intently on the path, listening to the voice within, slowly transforms unsteady footing to a joyful trail of buoyant light which supports our higher self .. our new reality based on discovery of innate gifts.
Another entity which raises its head upon Self Realization is regret. When we understand our true meaning for existence, it is only natural we regret everything preceding that knowledge. These two "buddies", Frustration and Regret, are certainly formidable foes until the moment we decide to become the best person we can become at this very moment .. not being frustrated at what we wish to be in the future nor being regretful of the person we were in the past. Simply focusing constantly on our personal gifts is all we need do to allow the "buddies" to dissipate. Where there is the light of an awakened spirit within, there is no space for the darkness of negativity.
The great equalizer is Action. Once we are awakened and aware of our gift and purpose for existence, we must take Action. Failure to act on this precious knowledge of "Self" condemns us to a lifetime of non-fulfillment. It is upon this decision to take action that frustration appears. Frustration of not achieving rapidly enough .. frustration of adapting to a new reality .. frustration of wanting perfection.
I've written this today because I know some of you are seekers, as am I. My hope is that I have let you know you are not alone in feeling the growing pains associated with Self Realization. The joy associated with traversing a new path in this attempt to live newly discovered gifts doesn't come without effort and complete focus. I do believe we must live our unique personal gifts in order to attain true happiness. I also believe our effort and focus will be rewarded as we all seek to become our perfect editions.
I'm certainly not "there" yet, Frustration is alive and well within me, but I have vowed to become my creative self in this lifetime .. utilizing newfound passions. I hope my "ramblings" have been helpful for you .. they are intended as a gift. We all share the same sandy path and I trust we will encounter one another as our footing continues to become more and more steady. I wish you good health, happiness, peace, and complete fulfillment ..
