Situations – Our relationship with them.

‘Our reaction to a situation literally has the power to change the situation itself.’ I had heard this saying several times. And my belief in this has been getting stronger and stronger by the day too. Yesterday was one more day, when not once but multiple times, I experienced the truth of it.

I was in a setting, which I had presented myself to about six months back too. For some reason, I decided that I had to re-experience the same, to restart what I left in-between at that time.

Though my last time experience which had its own pleasant and no so comfortable moments did present itself to me early morning to prepare me for all those not so pleasing moments again, I somehow chose to not get overwhelmed by it, and not carry the baggage with me when I went this time. I took it as a fresh start, which was more like the day one of how I was started it the last time.

So, the day started, and things started to roll. And this time around my experience of being in that surrounding was very different. Although there were still a few moments which went exactly like the same time, that caused uneasiness in me back then. This time how they impacted me was very different.

My experience and reaction to that which happened like how it happened last time was very different. And that allowed, how it showed up for me to become different too.

I acknowledged my own growth from being someone who got perturbed by certain actions and ways of people back then, to being the one who found my calmness around similar situations, and thus could allow myself a sense of ease.

It was such a beautiful re-affirmation, that how we show up for a situation, it becomes that for us. Whatever happens in a situation, happens outside of us. And happens with our experience of it, happens inside of us. These are two very different spaces and must be kept like that. And if at all we need to allow any impact also, it should be from inside towards out, and not the other way around.  

For me it saved my day from becoming a not so good, to being a wonderful day full of learning. It allowed to me present in a much more receptive manner, amongst the same people, who I might have otherwise been closed to, because of my last time experience with them. I allowed myself the freedom, to not get impacted by how things were being handled around me, and instead focus not how my thoughts and experience of it, was being handled by me.

My intention behind sharing this today, is not to speak about something which most of us know and is easily available in the form of many quotes on google. Instead, what I intended to do was to my most recent experience with something that I always knew, and believed in. And to share that we must always keep allowing ourselves to change, transform, and evolve, to experience our own experiences changing, when confronted with similar situations at various stages in our lives.

This aware presence to our own transformation, has the potential to encourage us to keep becoming better versions of ourselves, and re-energize our love for this life, and everyone who touches it. It allows for our relationship with self, and with others to become stronger and fulfilling.

Let us allow our best version to be presented to the situations we come across, thus allowing those situations to become good for us.

Let us create happy and fulfilling lives!

Much Love,
