LIVING THE QUESTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves
as if they were locked rooms
or books written in a foreign language.
Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live with them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer."
- Rainer Maria Rilke*, poet

You've been there - you want answers NOW. You want to live on purpose, on path, consciously creating. You want your next steps revealed, one after the other; and you want to know where you're headed. (Don't we all?) So what do you do when you don't know where you're headed? Or you don't know what next step to take?

Live everything. The answers AND the questions. Living the questions can lead you on the path you need to grow into the answer. Living the questions can create opening, possibility and expansion.

Let go of having to know. (Yes, I know this is easier said than done) You suffer because you are attached to having to know the answers, to having to know the outcome, to having to know the path. Let go and the suffering will cease. So will the struggling - another word for suffering.

Live everything. Even the experiences that seem to have no relevancy to your path.

Do you assume that there is a disconnect between what is showing up in your life and what you're wanting? It might appear, in the physical, that what you are experiencing is not related to what you're asking for; however, in the spiritual realm, *everything* is related.

What would happen if you considered the possibility of a connection? What if what is showing up is part of a Divine Plan to grow you into the answer you're wanting? Would you look at it differently?

Have you ever considered that if you were to know *right now* where your life will lead, that it might just freak you out?

Maybe you're not ready to know that you'll be speaking in front of 100,000 people someday. :D Maybe you're not ready to know that you'll be a ga-zillionaire or a superstar.

Live *everything*. The good, the bad, and the messy. The questions, the answers, the in-between. The growth, the stagnant. The high-energy, the no motivation. All of it!

ACTION STEPS:

1) What answers have you been seeking, maybe even impatiently? Are you willing to give yourself permission to stop searching for the answers? Are you willing to live with the questions themselves?

2) Consider a connection between what has been showing up in your life and what you're wanting. What might the connection be?

3) What answers have you already 'grown into'? Do you remember wanting to know the answers? Now you're living them - they're integrated. Congratulate yourself on living everything -

In Spirit,

Lauren

*Rainer Maria Rilke is a brilliant poet who happens to be a man. I write Women's Wisdom from inspiration, and in this case, the inspiration came from the a man's words. I hope you won't hold it against me :) To read more of Rilke's works, go to:
