I have realized that grief rewires our brains. It changes us in a thousand different ways. Sometimes we need this setback in life to push forward our vision beyond our comfort zone. It helps us to find new arenas of hope and comfort that otherwise we would not have known about life! I have also realized that the more we focus on the grief, it expands and the only way to face it wisely is to see it as a passage of time and not a permanent incident.
In moments of despair and vengeful resentment, we sentient beings often find our creative selves at our peak and this also sparks life-changing decisions that otherwise would have been impossible. I believe that everything in life is a chance for us to grow into better versions of ourselves. I have felt that everything in life happens for a valuable reason which we might unravel in the future and not everything will always make any sense to us as we human beings have a limited perspective on this experience of life. Sometimes past incidents show us patterns of what we are doing wrong and sometimes they give us a road map into our future if we have learnt the lessons properly.
The universe is a mystery and so are its manifestations. We keep imagining the best, and then only we will be receptive towards the best. Sometimes life teaches us how to lose everything in seconds and again start from scratch. It gives us hope and a broader perspective on the realities of life. In the words of Aristotle, “Hope is a waking dream.”
Life goes on with hope. Hope teaches us to dream bigger and get past our limited vision. It is just that all colors of life should be dealt with a certain equanimity to invoke a sense of purpose to this transient passage of time and space. I have written the most blogs during moments of lows and highs and nothing in between. While balance is needed, every emotion or incident has a purpose and is not a disgrace to this journey of yours. Concluding with a food for thought,
“Life is full of grief, to exactly the degree we allow ourselves to love other people.”
