A DREAM REVEALS THAT STRUGGLE IS A CHOICE!
At the time I had this dream I was in a great deal of emotional pain. I, like most people, believed I needed to suffer in order to grow. The dream did not change my outside circumstances, but it helped me see my life in a new way.
In my dream, I was in a room with many other people. In the process of moving across the room, we had to crawl through a tunnel filled with bees. It was impossible to accomplish our journey without being stung several times. After I had completed a pass through the first tunnel, I came to a resting place. The people here were recovering from their bites while preparing to enter a second tunnel.
Although I wanted to complete my journey, I was not eager to go through the same painful experience again. I looked around the room and I noticed a man standing by a door. I approached him, asking if there was another way to travel without all the suffering. He smiled at me and said, “Yes, you can go through here." He opened the door into a beautiful garden. I completed my journey by following the path through the garden, enjoying the sun light and beauty all around me.
As I reviewed this dream, I realized most of us go through life experiencing the pain and struggle of life, never looking for any alternatives. The people in my dream assumed there was only one way to accomplish the task before them. When I got tired of being bitten, I decided to look for another route. The man at the door was not blocking the way nor hiding its presence. He was there to assist anyone who asked for help. When I decided to let go of the struggle, my journey became one of joy and beauty.
Over the years, I have shared this dream with many people. Most people are shocked at the idea that struggle is a choice. It is not a concept they have ever entertained. Their experience of life has taught them to expect to struggle. For some, it is a pleasant relief to release this old concept. Others are not ready to make such a drastic change in perspective. Struggle is a choice. It is your right and responsibility to choose. As shown in my dream, whenever you decide to look for another path, there is always someone there to show you the way.
Letting go of struggle does not mean I will never again run into obstacles in my life. Challenges still present themselves to me. It is my perspective that has changed. I see these events as opportunities to watch as the power of God is demonstrated in my life. Every problem contains its own solution. I may not know how things will be resolved, but I am sure a solution will appear. I can now flow with the circumstances in my life, trusting that the answer will soon be revealed.
This perspective creates a feeling of peace and joyous anticipation. Without trust, I resist those difficult situations, creating a feeling of struggle. The feelings and thoughts of fear create more chaos and pain. I may not be able to choose every event that appears in my life, but I can always choose how I will view those situations.
IT IS TIME TO STOP STRUGGLING!
Struggle is a choice. Most people choose struggle because they are unaware of their True Identity as a spiritual being and are unskilled in the use of spiritual forces.
God has provided us with all we need to live an abundant life. You were never meant to struggle through life. You were meant to live under the blessings of God and express an abundant life. If you are not experiencing this abundant life it is due to a lack of spiritual knowledge and/or skill.
I encourage you to step up to the plate and use every opportunity to become what God designed you to be, a Divine Being of power, living in joy, and demonstrating God's goodness everywhere you go. If you will accept the above challenge than you will truly soar above the crisis!
