You chose it

You chose it

“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.”
— Eckhart Tolle

But why would I choose such a difficult circumstance, you may wonder? 

Because the secret is you didn’t come into this life to be comfortable. 

You came here to grow spiritually. 

And growth only happens when you’re faced with a challenge. 

So if you’re ready to improve it, change it, or heal from it, you must first accept that on some level, you chose it.

And remember that it’s happening for you as much as it’s happening to you.

If it wasn’t for all of the bad meditation experiences I had in my earlier life, I wouldn’t have appreciated the delightful experiences I had after meeting my teacher. So turns out, it was all on purpose. And if you’re where I was, and you’re tired of having mostly clunky meditations, join my Urban Meditation Retreat in Mexico City and over just a few days, you’ll become an enthusiastic daily meditator. You can get more info here. Space is limited.
