Life's Explorer













Bonjour Friends

I am late!!!

It was "Back to school" for the kid this week, which meant lots of work for "Mom".

After all...Since I am "An Independent writer", what is the problem?

In life we have official responsibilities to honor with: our boss, our families..., and we also have commitments that we take with ourselves like taking care of our bodies, souls...


Even though their implications are different (one has usually more immediate consequences than the other), they're both important to respect and we should always give 100% of ourselves in both cases, trying to follow through.

Another thing that we can learn, is that even if we should always push ourselves, have discipline and met our goals, sometimes life is also teaching us that we need to let go and ride with the flow.

( Getting guilty or upset never help! )


In addition and since there is a timing for everything, we maybe simply haven't met it yet!

Based on the same spirit, when our lost of faith keep "accelerating" this is the time when we should "slow down" our dark feelings. When life sends us challenges after challenges, it's important to remember the first rule of swimming class: learning to float.

From time to time, I hear in meetings sentences such as: "I can't take it anymore!"or "I just want to know when life is going to stop throwing rocks at me!"

Usually the same people might have experienced, hope and excitement as they started in a spiritual path but after a while, they have lost their faith in the divine providence...


Opportunities to learn and transform became unreachable mountains, making them feel that they are drowning.

To those who experienced enlightenment and "lost it" or to those who never had a test for it in the first place, I would like to share those few words.

In the world we live, "Peace" is found inside the work we do and the challenges that we face.

Yes, it's true! Some test are tougher than some others but do we have faith?

When we are facing bravely every moment of our lives, we find true peace of mind.

Kabbalah explains that we incarnate in this world to earn the Light of our Creator.

How?

By recollecting the sparks concealed in the dark and restricting our reactive nature doing it.

Just like a kid saying to his parent: "I want to do it by myself"! We asked to figure things out and to become: "Life's Explorer".

To finding what we're truly looking for and experiencing lasting fulfillment.

With Love & Light, Ilanit
