What is the meaning of life? For me, among other things like helping eachother as a society, it is to find eternal happiness. That kind of happiness that lasts no matter what situation I’m going through. I’ve always been a strong believer in karma…that everything happens for a reason… What goes around comes around… all those sayings. I believe the energy you put out is what you’ll receive. So instead of dwelling on all the wants, the voids and the “I wish I hads,” its crucial to redirect your focus on all the good that is present and trust that more good will keep coming your way. It’s the universal law of attraction.
When I first heard of the Law of Attraction, it intrigued me, but it also sounded like some new age BS. It seemed to be more of a “fake it til you make it” concept which didn’t seem practical to my Virgo X 10 self. But after delving into so many books that kept going back to this same theory, I started to understand. Since then I have been practicing gratitude and listening to the signs that reveal themselves in tougher times. It forces you to ask why am I attracting these situations ? What lesson needs to be learned? Or something greater must be coming….
My cousins and I made a trip to Salvation Mountain in the midst of a difficult time for me recently. Oddly enough, it wasn’t planned that way but it’s just another way that shows that the universe has your back. What I found that day was clarity on, what some may call cheesy, but a “spiritual journey.” All summer I had been hyper aware of my thoughts to make sure I’m manifesting what I want. I was focusing on myself, being more mindful and gaining back that confidence that seemed to be slipping. Suddenly I was hit with this bump in the road. A breakup is something that isn’t fun for either party. The one being broken up with OR the one doing the breaking up. When you realize that your feelings have changed or there is something in your gut telling you something is off, how do you tell that person the love is gone ? The hardest part is breaking the news and then you realize you’ve lost your best friend. It’s the hardest thing in the world to not be in communication with the person who you want to tell everything to…. Like when something exciting happens, wanting to share a stupid meme or a cool article only they would appreciate, and of course when some bad news hits and they’re the only ones that can comfort you (or so it feels that way). It sucks ! If that’s not hard enough already wait til you move into a different phase of the breakup, when you see them dating other people, which brings the ego into play. It all gets to be confusing and overwhelming.
Being at salvation mountain when I just so happened to be going through one of the tougher parts of my breakup was the exact sign I needed. I was eerily calm and finally at peace with everything sitting atop of this colorful man made mountain of clay. I felt awakened with a new found self-love. I knew everything was happening as it should and I trusted it. Self-love is the perfect remedy for anyone going through a breakup. When you discover a deep love with oneself, as well as an understanding of human behavior you will always be unbothered. Reconnect with yourself, take a trip, check something off your bucket list and enjoy your own company. Ain’t no better feeling 🙏🏼 xo
