“Stay in the eye of the hurricane.”

I heard something recently that really got me thinking.

It was something like this.  “….stay in the eye of the hurricane.” 

How truly interesting when you give it some thought. It can apply to just about everything in our world and in our own personal experiences.  The energies can be swirling about, all around us, in varying frequencies. But - we can choose to remain in the calmness. In the center. A place of retreat, allowing us to regroup if we need. To allow the ability to view things around us from this place of calm.

Life is always happening around us.  I truly believe that it is happening FOR us. 

Life can be messy at times.  Our wants and desires can appear to be unmet.  We can receive news that isn’t anything like we were expecting.  Illness can happen.  Tragedy.  You get the picture.  But what if you were able to be an observer in the eye of the life hurricane?  What if you could choose to feel the feelings without being thrown into the very turbulent and emotional part of the hurricane where all of the other chaotic energies lie?  Could this possibly be a place that would offer you a different perspective of what is happening in life?  Would it allow a space in which we would be able to have better control of our emotions and reactions?

It is important to remember that we are spiritual beings, having a human experience.  We are here to learn.  I believe that it is possible to embrace this learning and to choose to manage the reactions to what life presents us.

I love the saying, “We cannot control what happens to us, but we can control our reactions.”  It allows us to be in the driver’s seat of our decisions that follow each and every life event – positive and negative.

It’s definitely worth contemplating.  I know that it has definitely allowed me to view situations from a different perspective.
