Your Life Task is your career/ your creative work/ your mission/ etc.,
that puts to use your strengths and aptitudes and brings to life your
unique visions and goals for the world. Along the way, there are going
to be times when you feel incredibly rewarded and times when the journey
is going to absolutely suck. The ebb and flow of any long-term pursuit
is inevitable and unpredictable and it’s important that we brace
ourselves for the days that we know are coming.
There will be
victories along the way that will be worth celebrating and there will be
failures, setbacks, struggles, challenges, and hard times that are
going to require grit, focus, and a game plan. Being mindful is the key
practice that will guide us along the way.
With mindfulness, we can
identify moments of frustration as opportunities for growth; moments of
criticism as opportunities for skin-thickening; moments of laziness as
excuses — and in each of these situations, find creative ways to get
back to our work. If we’re not mindful, however, we may succumb to our
moods and emotional swings and steer away from our journey towards
mastery.
Our time is limited and every day should be treated as a
life of it’s own. If you look at every morning as rebirth and every
evening as death – would the life of your day(s) be fulfilled? For,
what is our life but the accumulation of our days, averaged out and
judged based on how fulfilling they were individually?
Where a lot of
people get it wrong is in the idea that struggle, pain, challenge,
controversy, failure, etc., are all bad things. They’re not. They’re
opportunities. And we need to train ourselves to see them that way.
Just like we can never live a struggle-free life, so too is it true that
we won’t always have struggle-free days. So brace yourself, because
hard times are coming — No question about it.
The question is, how
are you going to respond? …And do you have a plan in place to help you
respond?
