When There Aren’t Any Clear Answers Live The Questions
More often than not in life there are way more questions than there are answers. Live those questions. Meditate on those questions. The questions are the harbingers of burgeoning awareness unfolding.
Often in life we have to deal with the fact that we have so many choices and so many things going on that there aren’t always clear answers.
Clear answers are often elusive when we are in a transformative period of growth and change. As we all know change is not a one-time proposition in life. Life is not static. It is fluid. Life is like a river, always flowing, always moving with situations that are in constant flux.
When there aren’t any clear answers what can you do? Do you try to force choices or decisions and then regret them later? Do you rush into things only to see them crumble around you? What do you do when there aren’t any clear answers?
When we aren’t sure what to do or what choice to make the in between time can yield increased stress and anxiety. Sometimes this increased stress and anxiety gives us the urgent and overwhelming impression we need to choose something really fast to ameliorate our growing discomfort. Or conversely, this increasing stress and anxiety can paralyze us if we aren’t careful. Leave us feeling so overwhelmed we decide not to make any decisions. This can lead to a lot of subsequent chaos. Choices not made aren’t choices. They are in effect the end result of our own chosen helplessness and more often than not will leave us feeling victimized and un-empowered. Letting life run its course for you is a sure way to end up lost.
When there are no clear answers, stand still. Relax. Create a reasonable time frame within which you will process and work through whatever you need to in order to find the answers that you seek and/or need.
You do not need any answer this minute that you do not alreday have. You do not have it this minute because you are not yet ready to appreciate it, choose it, and act upon it. Trust that. Surrender to that. Continue to live the questions.
When there are no clear answers the universe requires faith and trust from you. It is in your best interest to stand still, breathe, learn what you still need to learn in order to be able to move on.
The answers appear when the student of life is ready for them. When we have the luxury in this fast paced world to slow things down and to really search our hearts and souls acting in good and loving faith we will never be led astray.
When there are no clear answer there is as much purpose for that as there is purpose for the answers as they appear when you are ready to figure them out and to choose them.
Trust that things are unfolding as they should. Be patient in the hurried anxiety of waiting. Life calls us to hurry up and wait often.
It is in the waiting that we grow even more. It is in the waiting that the answers will come, in due time, to those who seek them.
Clearly, there will be that clear answer that you want and/or need the exact moment that you are ready to know what you need to learn and that you are willing to take loving, congruent, responsible action. The answer will come to you very clearly when you are ready to choose it. It will become an adventure and does not remain a stressful anxiety-filled fear-based cavern of doubt and insecurity.
When there is no clear answer sit with that in the unfolding moment in an aware and mindful way. You are the way for that answer to manifest from the universe in and through you — for you when you are ready to receive it.
Trust that living the questions will yield you the answers that you seek. Breathe. Observe. Do not judge. Stay open to the enlightenment that is evolving within you and that will make itself known to your consciousness just when you need it to.
