Issue 59: Everything Is Temporary and Perfect

Everything is Temporary and Perfect

I read off the title of this week’s article 8 times. Then, I read it off after turning it into an intentional statement,

“Why is everything so temporary and perfect that I didn’t notice before?”

I read the above 8 times.

As I was listening to the new YouTube release by Kyle Cease (Comedian turned personal development N.Y. Times bestselling author and speaker) titled,

“The Upcoming Collapse: Are We Screwed?”

I began thinking about some things. Interestingly, part of the video was about money, but my take away was more about personal growth because the underlying message is how are we perceiving what is going on externally around us. I thought about the content of this video and suddenly, I remembered noticing a common thread running through the various patients’ stories shared with me last week and that is a general feeling of unhappiness and dissatisfaction that somehow life was being unfair to them.

Everything is temporary and perfect.

They talked about how certain family members were treating them unfairly, how some healthcare providers were treating them unfairly, how they were not living the life they were meant to live because of their various ailments, because of the pandemic restrictions, and so on. I remembered thinking, wow, so many expectations from the external environment. What happened to taking responsibility for ourselves and how we feel day to day?

Everything is temporary and perfect.

Almost daily, I hear the story that starts with “If only this would happen, then…” or “If only I could feel this way again, then…” or “I definitely would be happier if…” or “Life would be perfect again if….”

It’s always so conditional. We make things so challenging for ourselves. Life really doesn’t have to be that way at all. That is why we spend our lives waiting — always waiting. Why not feel good now? Why not be happy now? Why not access the states of being within us — love, peace, and joy — now?

Everything is temporary and perfect.

The key is a change in perception, a change in our mindset, which is a collection of beliefs of how we think the world should be. How we think we should be, “should” being the operative word.

We also must remember that there is nothing written in stone that says that we always have to feel awesome. It’s ok to feel “off” sometimes. It’s even ok to feel “off” for a longer period of time. I think in this society, we have this expectation that we have to be 110 percent 24/7. Even in our bodies, cells don’t regenerate unless the old ones die off and get removed. So, we can look at this as something bad has to happen for something good to come in.

If the body looks at that as a bad thing, we would never have new cells, new tissues or new growth for that matter. There are many sayings that revolve around the premise that sometimes what waits for us on the other side of chaos and conflict is magic, especially if we remember that the challenges we feel are really our old ways, our old stories and patterns leaving us so that space is made for new and better things to come to us.

Remember that the one that criticizes and judges is the egoic mind that controls the mental chatter. Whenever we hear anything other than everything is perfect as it is, that is the false chatter, that roommate living with us that doesn’t shut up. This is the same roommate that pushes us into that train that goes nowhere and convinces us to stay there. This is normal and happens to me — a lot. People don’t think I experience the same things and I have to remind them that I am also human. There are 2 main ways I deal with feeling down, depending on where I am.

If I’m in public or in a situation where I cannot go somewhere quiet and reflect, I start with intentional statements saying them quietly in my mind that I have taught in many of my newsletters especially the most recent months. A couple of examples would be,

—Why is this situation so awesome and good for me that I didn’t notice before?

—Why is this situation so incredibly perfect that I didn’t notice before?

The mind immediately begins turning the perception around and generates better answers. And, since the body is the instrument of the mind, whatever the mind says goes for the body.

This has invaluable implications for the physiology and biochemistry of the body. Simply speaking, when the mind and body can agree that there is no fight or flight or stress response going on in the present time, then the damaging stress hormone cortisol is withdrawn and returns to the adrenal glands and healing of the body resumes, including tissue/cell regeneration and building of the immune system. This is the main reason why individuals who complain incessantly about anything under the sun that is going wrong, it doesn’t matter what, tend to get sick a lot and then complain about why they are sick all the time.

We have to remember that whatever we get in life, we attracted it. To really understand this vital piece of information, we have to remember that according to quantum physics we may appear to be solid but we are actually a collection of fast moving atoms and electrons that are vibrating at high speeds all the time, much like when the blades of a fan are spinning fast, we see that as a solid circular metal plate but when the fan stops, the individual blades are really separate with space in between.

Now, I will inevitably have individuals who feel offended about what I’ve just said and argue that they most definitely did not invite “bad” things to come into their lives. They maintain that they did not invite the accident, or the illness, or the death. They actually did. We do. We attract every single thing that comes to our lives, whether we admit it, understand it or not. I had a hard time with this premise at one time, but once I stepped back, I realized, OMG, it is true.

You see, we forget that the descriptive words, “bad” or “good,” “pleasant” or “unpleasant,” are subjective terms and are not universally accepted as absolute truths. They are generated via our personal perception of certain things or events. They are words of illusion.

I have spoken to, interviewed and read about many individuals who tell personal stories of how at one time a situation or event they regarded as “bad” turned out in the future to be the “best” thing that ever happened to them. Kyle Cease always reminds us that we must trust the universe, the invisible powers that be, God, higher intelligence, whatever your faith is, that we need to remember whatever happens is not bad or good. Things just are how they are and things happen as they do. None of that has anything to do with us. No one is trying to do us in. We are never victims.

The majority of us believe that we have more control than we do about what happens around us. We really don’t. And, if we just get humble enough to let go, we would live life with more peace of mind and joy. We can only control how we perceive things. We can choose to accept everything as a path to growth or reject it and suffer because none of it will change the external circumstances as they are at that present moment. Our complaints and resistance of “what is” will not change what is going on at that very moment. However, if we change ourselves, glorious things will happen for us beyond what we can ever imagine, when given time.

The important message delivered in Kyle’s YouTube presentation mentioned at the beginning encourages us to be okay with whatever is happening, however we are feeling. He encourages us to simply allow whatever we are labeling as unpleasant to just be there for a time. Just allow it. Whenever we resist, that very thing we resist will persist and will just stick around.

In the video, he mentioned that we have all noticed how food is more expensive now and that the money we have is not worth the same as before. We could look at this as a “bad” thing or we could choose to see opportunities in the current events. Looking at these events differently does not mean that we are aiming for them or wishing for them or condoning them. However we feel is not going to alter the events. We must remember that. But, how we perceive negative things differently can help us rise above how we feel and through these purposeful actions begin to change our path to something we feel is better. Does that make sense?

I feel this was so important to share because I exist on this same planet and I am aware of the same things happening to you. I catch myself in complaint mode more than I wish to admit, but I choose and I decide how I want to feel. It is important that I am the one deciding, instead of the external events.

Whatever is happening with you, I send you all a lot of love and blessings to receive much to be grateful for everyday. Remember to write your minimum of 8 gratitudes in the morning as soon as you wake up and before you go to bed. Read each one out loud, close your eyes and feel them. Truly feel them. Doing this simple habit everyday continues to change my life positively in more ways than I ever imagined and it will for you, as well, if it hasn’t already.

Remember, whatever’s going on, everything is always temporary and perfect.
