It has been a busy last few weeks with classes, trips, studying, and other events and I have been fighting this luxury we call time. As the old folks say “there are not enough hours in the day,” funny part is that I use this saying too. Old soul trapped in a young body (Lol)! I have a lot of blog ideas, but I don’t have the time to actually produce the finished products. As many of you know I am the type of individual that likes to multi-task and ideas always come to me at random times.
I have the opportunity to chat with various individuals on a number of different topics very often. They are from all over the world and come from different backgrounds and ideologies. It is amazing how in each one of those conversations, the perception of their current circumstance can vary. I discovered a various range of attitudes and emotions during these chats which intrigued me on several levels. As you can imagine when someone tells you a story their emotions change with each specific event. Depending on how favorable or unfavorable their perception of the outcome will modify their attitude. Why is it that every time something does not work to our advantage we change our attitude instead of counting it all joy? Why is it that we can not mentally comprehend that every event (good or bad) happens for a specific reason and a specific time? Do you really think if you put a little more effort, slept a few hours less, or paid a little more money your outcome would have been different?
The misconception of our perception of the circumstance can be explained by our inability to interpret a situation. We try to explain every biological and psychological event by using science and common sense, but the truth of the matter is you don’t have the intellectual capacity to interpret your situation in your human realm. You have to evolve to a spiritual/supernatural realm in order to see that you are truly going through a process with many stages.
Think about it from another point of view and I guarantee it will touch your life and your situation. I know a lot of people have a fascination for fine wines. Well just in case you didn’t know wine comes from grapes which go through a fermentation and creative process. The fermentation process starts when yeast is added to grape juice. The yeast consumes the grape's sugar and converts it to alcohol and carbon dioxide. Every grape has its own variety of identifiable characteristics. However, it is the “winemaker” who creates the style and personality of the finished wines. The winemaker "guides" the winemaking process using a variety of techniques to best express His style in each wine. Essentially, each phase of life you encounter is part of a process to enhance and reveal unique characteristics which reflect your maker. Somebody just missed that!
The important thing to remember is that you are “IN THE PROCESS” but when you finish you will be better than the initial ingredients used. Furthermore, as with wine you get better with age because there has been time for you to improve your lifestyle and distinguish yourself from all the foolishness of your past. The great thing I love about being in a process is that there are several levels. Macro-process (big picture) you can’t control, but the micro-process (components) you can influence. I recently embarked on a 90 day process to complete a task I felt was in my heart. I have seen the opposition come and try to distract my but I know that if for my good and once I complete the process I will be one step closer to being like “fine wine!”
Stop tripping over your right now and look forward to your not yet! Be Thankful that you are “In The Process!”
