Consequences

There are no consequences. They don’t exist. That’s a made-up form of something which comes after you’ve done something else. And then you bear the consequences for that.
But that would mean that you aren’t truly in control of your life because you bear the consequences of your actions. It sounds more like a punishment.
With that way of looking at things, you’re again relieving yourself of responsibility because you’re not to blame, you’re just experiencing your own “consequences”, just enough to forget what brought you to them. And that’s no longer important because you’re in those “consequences” and now you’re probably moaning about them at the top of your lungs.
That would be too easy and too unnatural for someone who has freedom at the core of their being and who is in control of their path.
That’s because everything, absolutely everything in your life, was chosen by you. And regardless of that fact possibly giving rise to some inner rage towards that statement, that’s the one and only absolute truth.
Look at the world around you, and you’ll see your own reflection in it.
How great your power is, what a sublime and gifted being you are to have put yourself onto such a complicated path. But that’s the only way you can feel that moment of joy and that urge to have challenges in life.
The excitement of looking danger in the eye drives you to action without much deliberation. It forces you to truly get moving and remove yourself from that danger.
Few are those who will stand before a speeding train until the last second.
That’s how it is with life too. It’s full of mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical obstacles which force you to move in order to avoid them. And then, right there, when making that move, you might catch sight of a beautiful flower, something you certainly wouldn’t have seen if you had remained standing in front of the obstacle. Just one look at your life can restore faith in yourself, but a look which is full of understanding towards the creator of that creation—towards yourself. Everything you have, all the laughter and all the sorrow—you created them. So, use your potential and move forward, not towards freedom because you already have it, but rather “forward”.
Moving forward, you’re able to see new wonders; it would be a shame to miss them.
And it would also be fairly impossible. You’d only be waiting in some safe place for a while until you realized you needed to move on anyway.
Wisdom is seen in all its beauty the moment you embrace your life and acknowledge its value. Then you meld into it and gently glide on. Ask it what it’s brought you, what it’s teaching you, and it will tell you, through people, things, and events.
It’s not difficult to recognize the signs when you’re ready to experience recognition. It’s then a game which rouses the young child you used to be in you, the child who didn’t know fear until others taught it to her, and the child who didn’t know of a hopeless life until she saw it around him.
Awaken again as that child in this lifetime and allow all your thoughts to mold into just one—and that’s happiness. A thought of happiness, safety, and progress will turn you into someone who proudly marches down their path, looking towards what’s coming their way with total faith and marveling at what they’ve gone through so far.
If you think you can’t do it, think of yourself, think of that child, and give her back the freedom which belongs to her and which you’ve taken away from her during this life.
And live!
