Changing your life is tough. It's very tough. I mean, surprisingly hard.
For anyone who has tried to make some significant changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same mediocre way any longer, you've potentially experienced the growing pains that come along with deciding to live in another way. You are consistently tested, you fail time upon time, and it's hard to see the world in the light of cheerfulness.
But it doesn't necessarily need to be that way.
You see, folk battle with deep change because they do not know the proper way to act when the negative feelings start bubbling up. They think that because negativeness is occuring that they must be doing some things wrong. No! Not remotely. Actually if you are fighting and it hurts a little, you are doing things right. Fundamentally, you are growing. You're moving past your comfortable zone.
When you're going through large changes, you're going to come across some important difficulties. Pain is going to come out to play, your inner critic is going to run free, and you are going to have some struggles. In truth, that is fantasically ok! That really means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't declare failure now when you are really suffering discomfort. Keep going and see it all the way through and you will cross the finish line a transformed person.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the way to get sufficiently near to the pain to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are constructing a new life, old things really tend to flow out and you've got to spend a while working with them. This is a standard part of the growing process. But you have to work with them because if you fail to, you run the risk of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you do this?
You've got to get sufficiently close to the agony and experience it without getting totally consumed by it. You have to be willing to bring yourself to the agonizing places and let the thoughts and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally out of the game. When that can be done, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes some talent and a lot of practice, but if you can actually spend some time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
