Down the Rabbit’s Hole

How often did it happen to you? That minute when you feel like you have fallen into the rabbit’s hole and woke up to see everything chaotic , upside down and in disorder? I am sure countless are the times.. we are frequently confronted with multiple life altering events that makes us loose track and get lost in life’s hectic rhythm… We wander and we go astray all over the places that once were our comfort zones, we panic and a thousand ideas start racing in our heads..

Lina Hanna Hanna.

this sagging state of mind and being where nothing makes sense anymore, where things drift and diverge to a different reversed path, a path did we never thought we would end up journeying.. We curse and get angry at ourselves and everyone around us, thinking that the universe has ploted our fall, we think that we are snowed under a conspiracy that aims our success and the normal course that our life is taking and that s fine since we are human and sometimes a bit too human with our reactions and rage against any unplanned incident.. But if we take the time to meditate and reflect upon the situation, if we let the fever of our reason cool down to the normal temperature , we will realize that this misfortune , this curse is a blessing in desguise, that beneath this hardship lies a new opportunity for us to meet a new aspect of our identity, to grow muscles in our heart and mind, since we grow muscles only if we lift a weight that is greater than what we can afford, we will become stronger , we will be polised with every rub, it will be more like a massage to our stamina , our fortitude..

A hardship makes us wiser and connects us to the greater being, it takes us back to our origins, to the survivor ‘s instincts we all have… and like the famous proverb goes” calm seas never make a great sailor” , it is in these moments we discover our true substance, what we are made of, and what we can develop into, a stronger self, a self that appreciates what it has, a self that is fine by loosing what it had for the sake of it can posess, a self that can embrace the scars it has and be thankful for the spirit of the warrior in its central part…. It is absotlutely vital to fight back, the rise and the fall will illuminate us and guide us to the fighter within us… Engage yourselves in your battles, do not walk on the safety land of your fears, confront and contest even if you do not guarantee the triumph for it is what you learn in the battlefiled itself that is worth your life… do not be stagnant when bad luck hits you, stand up and choose your weapons, who cares if you get a few bruises and bleed in the course of the war? Your first duties are towards yourself, you owe yourself the self respect it proclaims, it is your obligation to stand up for what your rights, and by all means get them, if you loose you will never loose the lesson, you will say it is better that I have tried and failed than not try at all and just sit there and take it under the pretexte of helplessness and despair, there is no place for the weak on the field of life, things will not go better if you just pray fro them to be better, sure praying helps, but by being a person of action rather than reaction , you will have the world at the palms of your hands and you will be no longer a victim but rather a victorious self, that will earn you praise and force respect even in the hearts of your ennemies… Never take injustice even if it meant that you will get your face smurged with mud and dirt while you are trying to confront it … u are a value , a force that should be radiated in all directions… Do not creep and crawl, but rather jump and fly over any disaster, failure or tragedy, never allow yourself to be frightened of the status quo. You can do miracles, you have a saying on the course of your life, you can affect it and mold it into any shape you want to take… You enclose the world within you, look inside of you and you will find vaste pastures and waterfalls to keep the vibe in your body alive and beating… So what? Let the universe throw its rocks on your path, use these rocks to build up a fence for yourself, winning will not always be your ally , but rising will sure be, rising beyond the limitations you thought limits you, you will found out you have wings to fly about anywhere you wish to land… You are the wonder , the marvel of creation, you hold the keys to all the doors you wish to open, but only if you do release yourself of all restrictions , these illusionary boundaries are just a figment , a result of your startled self… break the walls of your prisons and set yourself free and whenever you fall into the rabbit’s hole dig up a way up and rise up again…. Remember you can either take it or make it which one will it be?
