The Same But Different
All problems and challenges for anyone in life are the same, in that they put each of us in situations where we are pushed past our current edge of knowing and awareness of our life experiences. We have unknowingly slipped into our awareness void, at least a little.
Ice Crystals and Life Challenges
It’s just like the ice crystal snowflake shown in this article, which outwardly appears the same as other snow crystals, even though it is dissimilar. Even as each one is a little different, all ice crystals are formed for the same reason; just as the challenges are brought to manifest in each of our lives for the unified purpose of growing us.
Should be Easy, But It’s Not
Often, we are faced with a conundrum that in our minds should be easily solved, yet we remain baffled as to how to do that — how to manifest the right solution?
Achilles Heel and Johari’s Windows
This is the point where we are faced with a challenge that ranges from a small problem to a full-fledged life-event, that hits us in the center of our Achilles Heel of awareness. (We talked about this in the article Windows of Self: Faces We Show, Hide and Cannot See.)
Our Life Plan is like Scrabble
As we discussed in many articles, including the recent Future Lives in Other Times, our Life Plan is arranged in such a way that each successive lesson we learn gets automatically queued up as we complete the last one. There may be a short time gap in between, but the next lesson is coming.
Now, the detailed ingenuity of our Life Plan is amazing! Our Higher Guidance team, who helped us construct this plan before we came to earth, have skillfully placed each individual life-lesson to be learned in such a way as to maximize its benefit.
It’s like playing the game of Scrabble, where we choose a word that intersects with three other word sets and allows us to score 125 points by doing so.
Combine Lessons, Accelerate Learning
Similarly, each “next” learning objective mapped out in our life plan will be the one that simultaneously addresses as many different lesson areas as possible to speed up our learning. It is perfectly placed in the sequence of our life to maximize our education!
Why Now?
Our life challenges, small and large alike, are often on the front lines of our busy life pursuits, where deadlines are short and expectations are high, no matter who you are. Because of that, our problems feel just as daunting and intense for us as they do for someone else.
That’s why our challenges often appear when they are least expected, and when we are most unprepared. “Why now?” we might ask.
Uniquely Tailored
Expressed in another way, the Universe uniquely tailors the challenges we face to match our required areas of life-lessons. These “life-lessons” also happen to correspond to our unique emotional, mental and spiritual vulnerabilities of our being.
Their Problem is Easy, Ours is Hard
For that reason, our problem may seem big and insurmountable while some else’s difficulty may appear to be simple to solve. Of course, that other person feels exactly the same way about our life-challenge.
Again, All Problems are the Same
Whether someone is a self-made billionaire with vast economic and personnel resources or a day laborer working on a production line, each of their problems feels the same to them: Each person feels their problem hits them smack dab in the middle of their blind spot(s) of awareness, often leaving them feeling vulnerable and not knowing what to do next.
Our Higher Guidance, including the Universe, together will use our “awareness blind spots” to unfurl the events contained within our Life Plan to provide us the maximum challenge(s) that we are ready for at that moment.
“Why?” you might ask. As mentioned earlier, they are doing this to help us accelerate our spiritual growth, which is a primary reason we are here on earth in the first place.
With that in mind, from the billionaire’s point of view, the problems the day laborer faces aren’t even problems at all; because it’s not part of the billionaire’s current Life Plan (and learning). The lessons faced by the laborer were probably learned long ago by the billionaire.
Of course, the day laborer then looks at the billionaire’s problem and thinks, “What’s the big deal?” while completely not knowing (or unaware of) the intricacies of the billionaire’s learning challenges and unique, perhaps nuanced Life Plan.
Walk a Mile…
It’s kind of like that saying of walking a mile in someone else’s shoes. It’s a completely different experience when we’re on the outside looking in, than being on the inside looking out.
We are Cherished Creations of the Divine
From the Divine’s and our guide’s perspective, no matter what it looks like, the challenge someone else is facing is just as important as the one we are facing. We are all equally valued creations of the Divine. Each person’s lessons are just as important as someone else’s from the Divine’s perspective.
Heart Centered Spiritual Guidance
As each of us faces our challenges in life, it is important to remain centered in our heart, living in love, seeking always to be piloted by our spiritual guidance team and the Divine.
When we live heart-centered, we can see problems for what they truly are, gifts of learning in disguise! We can also realize that no matter how much better or worse someone else’s situation may appear, they, too, are sacred creations of the Divine who need our love and caring, not outer judgment or criticism.
