Have you heard this before? I suppose if we consider it’s a step forward, two steps back…or a step backwards and two steps forward – a bit like a Slow Waltz. It makes sense! At times we could describe life similarly to a Quick Step or a Foxtrot, difficult to keep up, or even catch our breathe. The happiest times of celebration we surely are Jiving or Cha-Cha-ing through our day! Overall, dancing should be fun, de-stressing and enjoyable.
I will attempt to unpack my thoughts here about what I think it means.
There is a natural energy and flow to life. The ups and the downs are neither good nor bad, however, it is the way we understand it. Every experience exists for our betterment, whether we recognize it immediately, or not.
When situations happen around us which we may consider ‘bad’ at the time, in hindsight, we can recognize it was at that point in time, we made a particular decision that led us to where we are now, or took us on a path, we would never have walked. Don’t you find this extraordinary?
Hardship tends to lead us directly to our purpose in life, where we discover personal fulfillment. Isn’t that ironic?
It seems an essential part of our life journey that develops us into more empathic human beings, deepening our relationship with ourselves and others. All our experiences, heartache, and disappointments, work together to bring us to a certain understanding about ourselves, humanity and the deeper workings of the world around us. We develop a deeper spiritual understanding and connection to all living things. Whether you ‘believe’ in God or not, in your mind, it is irrelevant because the workings of the spiritual world around us are existing whether we fully understand it or not. We actually don’t even need to fully understand it. It is what it is. The opportunities to recognize the spiritual world are in every single setback, celebration, or mundane everyday ‘stuck in traffic’ scenario. We just don’t always notice. That’s why the ‘big stuff’ happens to catch our attention!
Everyone struggles at times to simply go with the natural rhythm of life’s progression, but regardless, the ‘time’ rhythm (dance) is ongoing. We will either choose to go with the flow of life’s dance or we will try to move against the natural flow.
Our dance style should be adjusted with each season progressively weaving, maneuvering, ducking, holding on as needed, for our wholesome benefit. From my own experience, I’ve learnt to flow and accept what life deals me with an attitude of ‘it’s going to be okay’. Everything will work out the way it’s meant to. I can’t change what is happening, I have to accept it. I can choose to respond in a way that is considerate of my SELF and others.
If we can accept and flow with life’s lead, we are able to accept the things we can’t control, change the things we can, and have wisdom to know the difference.
