Last week’s post, Reach A Hand And Find Peace, came about when I drew a card from my Gateway Oracle Cards deck. After drawing the card, I noticed another card that was a little dirty on the back. I took it out of the deck, cleaned it, and turned it over. It was clear that this card was meant to be drawn as well, since its meaning is a consequence of the one I discussed last week.

Life unfolds in cycles of becoming and passing away, of passing away and becoming. We begin something, evolve from it, and may one day grow beyond it. The same applies to every kind of relationship. Some last a lifetime; others are meant only for a specific period during which they had a purpose to fulfill. As soon as we let go of something that no longer serves our higher good, we create space for everything out there -and within us – that is waiting to enter our lives. When we turn our gaze away from something that has held us back in the past and instead look ahead, a new life unfolds right before us – a life full of chances and possibilities. The path to everything we wanted to become lies ahead of us, never behind us.

So we must stop holding on to feelings of guilt or fear about something that exists only in our memories or weighs on our daily lives. It makes no sense to keep a hobby, a friendship, a job, or any other relationship going simply because we once started it. Life is meant to evolve, and we are meant to evolve. So whatever happened in the past has led us to the insights we’ve gained only through those events. Nothing is meant to hold us back, but to prepare us. Once we realize this, we lay the foundation for the person we can become. We may feel uncertain at first – which is completely normal when sailing into uncharted waters – but this is the only way we’ll reach the shores we want to and are meant to reach.

Let’s look at the lessons an experience has taught us, see what we’ve developed from it, and use the time ahead of us to apply this knowledge to our lives. Because that’s what experiences are for.
