What To Do When You Hit the Wall? Part 1

We’ve hit the wall when we feel like life has handed us just too much of the bad stuff!  We feel like we’ve run out of options. There seems to be no way out of the circumstance or situation.  Maybe we feel trapped, cornered or even like giving up!

I certainly understand because I’ve hit my own walls many times.  Those walls feel very solid and very real!  Its a lousy headspace to be in, for sure!  But what if those walls really aren’t solid or real at all?  What if its just an illusion that you believe to be real?

Now I’m not talking about those day to day problems like the car breaks down or the washing machine quits working.  That’s just life.  Sh** happens!  What I’m talking about is our day-to-day illusions of how we “believe” life works for us.

Back to those walls ….  Walls are only walls when we believe they are (in the world of thought).  Rather than being solid and rigid, walls can become soft, malleable and even dissolve when we realize that we are responsible for their creation by our limiting beliefs.

Limiting beliefs are those beliefs we consciously or unconsciously hold about the way things are, how “life” works.  I’m willing to bet that most of us never even question those beliefs.  We don’t even ask ourselves how we came to believe them.  We’ve held them for so long, they’ve become our “reality,” our worldview.  Perhaps the reason we don’t challenge those beliefs is because we see them verified every day in our own world.  We have accepted (albeit usually blindly) the paradigm that says seeing is believing.

What IF it “ain’t” necessarily so?  What if science has proven otherwise?  What if it’s the real lesson that all the great masters have pointed to for millennia?

We’ll talk about it tomorrow in part 2 of this post.  In the meantime, question everything.  Look deeper.  Bring your flashlight.
