Humans – me included – have a tendency to see here and now, and how things may effect ‘me’. We often forget there is a much larger ‘picture’ that we aren’t always able to see.
But hey, aren’t humans known for being flexible and able to adjust?
Yes, I too get a bit flustered, or frustrated, when my best laid plans go awry – but over the years, I (finally!) have learned that things get delayed or cancelled for very good reasons – I just may never learn of the reason, and that’s okay by me.
Sometimes we get frustrated when our plans are detoured, delayed or completely fall apart.
Most of us have experienced this in one form or another. For example:
You were invited somewhere, maybe at the last minute, and grudgingly went. When you got there, you met your spouse/life partner. If you hadn’t gone….
You, in a moments thought, changed your route that you usually take to work – only to find out later – that if you had taken your normal route, you would’ve been stuck, or involved in, a major accident.
Or, you had sudden misgivings about taking your scheduled flight, so you don’t go…
Or everything ‘conspired’ against you to make you late for your appointment – yet, even though you were late, everything worked out better than you could’ve thought.
Or, you were scheduled for a road trip, yet your seemingly perfect tire blew. As your trip was temporarily delayed – you find out that had you gone earlier, as originally planned, you would’ve been stuck in the middle of nowhere because of a horrendous storm.
And, sometimes we forget that our time – human time – is just that. Our guides/guardians/Powers-That-Be do not follow human time.
I work hard now to be flexible and adjust – because I know my plans or decisions are made with a much more limited view and understanding than our guides/guardians and the Powers-That-Be have. I, for one, am glad that I have unseen guidance.
