Natural Brilliance, The Balancing Act

Have you noticed that you give over some hours or days in your life to wondering WHY things are the way they are? We usually question what we did that allowed or invited the circumstance or event to show up and bother us. And we only invest hours of time musing over personal or public events that we don’t really like, situations that aren’t as we had wished them. We’ve spent a few such minutes in the past at Back to Brilliance.

This is a habit which most of us indulge in, even when our lives are very good and satisfying. Even then, we often think about what would have happened if we had done this instead of that, married this person instead of that one, or voted for one person instead of another.

We have found that accepting what is moves us out of the thinking rut. One might assume that accepting what is will put us in a low mood, feeling victimized. Perhaps it doesn’t fit with the image we have of ourselves, as the mover, the strong force, the one who keeps on keeping on.

However, it is accepting what is that gets us to the other side, without all the mind chatter. It is acceptance that gives us a quiet minute so that natural Brilliance can enter our minds and do its work to make our lives a whole lot easier.

We can see more clearly from the state of reality and make better plans to move to the place of our desires. Accepting what is allows us to save time and move into action, when possible, and into that peaceful balance. Our energy is used to create instead of crumble. When we balance acceptance and action we become powerful.
