A well-known proverb says: "Life is what you make it." I believe that this statement is so powerful and at the same time so true. Seeing the good in things in your life and your journey is not always easy.

Human beings have a "gift" to see mostly the part that does not serve us, or I should say our "trained" mind. How can you trust your life and believe that all is a gift you receive, either "bad" or "good"?

All our life experiences are happening because we "invite" them in. It might sound unbelievable, but look at it this way. You happen to ask yourself this question quite a lot probably: " Why is this happening to me time and time again?" 

Because we invite the same experience of life until we learn what we need to learn to be able to move forward.

If one "bad" experience is happening, we have to see the result of it and learn from it. If we distance ourselves from that experience and come out of the action, we can see clearly why and how that experience happened. 

It may be difficult for our mind to comprehend that our difficult experiences are happening for our growth, but what is perceived as bad by our mind may not be perceived eventually as bad for our evolution, especially when we see the outcome.

After many times experiencing the same experience, in the end, we all "get it" and then we say to ourselves:  "Oh, now I understand!" It’s so funny, isn’t it? I believe that we all experience the same thing. When you decide that all these experiences are for you and not the opposite way, you start to see the gifts of life.

When you trust your journey, you become aware of all the gifts you have received along your human journey. You will start to see the flowers. You will even stop and smell them. You will see the sun through the clouds, you will see nature around you, you will see your family as the best gift you have received in life, you will see and be grateful for your friends, and you will see and understand your neighbours better.

You will understand better when people are struggling, and you will feel that you want to keep the momentum going.

Then, life will take you from where you were and bring you to different places and circumstances, and you will be happy. Then, you will tell yourself: "This is a miracle! How can this be?" You will feel that all is surreal and incomprehensible.

And you know what? Life is meant to GIVE, not to take. That is her role. Life is generous, life is kind, life gives hope, life gives faith, and life gives love. That is what life is.

Life is an "incomprehensible journey" for our human mind, but a wonderful loving experience with apparently difficult experiences. I say "apparently" difficult experiences because our mind always sees them as more difficult than they are. Life is a journey. Life is an experience. Life is meant to teach us the greatest gift of all. To exist, to just be and trust it.

When you can’t see the gifts of life, is because you are overwhelmed by what you wish to become by all kinds of different already designed societal standards. Have you asked your heart what is your own personalized designed standard? If not, start asking yourself how would you design your life and start living it.
