If you think life is about getting what you want, then life will seem to be against you.
But if you see life as a laboratory of your own spiritual evolution, then all of creation becomes the supporting cast, and you will always, always feel supported.
Because the Universe just has this uncanny knack for sending us the perfect experiences to “build character”.

Life is set up that way. We operate on beliefs and identifications, these are out of alignment with reality, and we will inevitably find ourselves in situations where life makes this misalignment very obvious to us.
We experience this misalignment as discomfort and even suffering. Blaming the world for the discomfort tends to amplify it. If we instead use it as a reminder to look at our own beliefs and identifications, it can be a support in our own healing, maturing, and even awakening.
Most of us use a combination of these two approaches, and the more aware we become the pattern of each, the more we tend to naturally use the second.
