This juxtaposition has been on my mind for a while. We all see the difference between both and for sure get the deeper meaning. We are all shaped by life, and by all the influences to which we are exposed in this life until our last breath. Nobody likes to act against their conviction or personal virtues only to satisfy their boss, society, tradition, or simply some people who take advantage of another person’s helplessness, insecurity, fear, or dependency. Yes, we all know that, but sometimes the line between both is very thin…

… and then again not. We do feel when we act against our nature. But sometimes, we are confronted with such circumstances or become challenged by such people to find out where the personal limit line is. Because sometimes, we may think we are acting against ourselves while, in fact, we are called to step out of our comfort zone and become more than we are. Mostly, it is not the soul feeling oppressed or is resisting, but our fears or comfort level keeps us from going along with the challenge. There is a pretty simple way to figure out who is talking to you. The soul never resists!

The soul accepts and uses all it experiences for its growth. The soul sees what is and makes of it what it needs. But it never backs off because it knows that nothing can ever harm it. It knows that this life is meant to be experienced and that everything life sends is perfectly tuned to the incarnation plan of the soul.

So, if you feel like being bent, then look closer.
You are not called to run away.
You are called to find a way.
And that way you are always shaped and never bent.
