Changing your life is tough. It's very tough. I mean, extraordinarily hard.
For anyone who really has tried to make some major changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same way anymore, you've probably experienced the growing pains that come together with deciding to live in another way. You are consistently tested, you fail time and again, and it's very tricky to see the world in the light of cheerfulness.
Nonetheless it does not necessarily need to be that way.
You see, folks grapple with deep change because they do not know the proper way to act when the counterproductive emotions start bubbling up. They think that because negativity is occuring that they have got to be doing some things wrong. No! Not at all. In reality if you're fighting and it hurts a little, you are actually doing things right. You are growing. You're moving past your comfortable zone.
When you're going through large changes, you're going to come across some gruelling problems. Agony is going to come out to play, your internal critic is going to run wild, and you are going to have some struggles. That is fantasically ok! That actually means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't give up now when you are in pain. Keep going and see it all the way through and you may cross the finish line a transformed man or woman.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the way to get near enough to the agony to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are making a new life, old things tend to trickle out and you've got to spend a while working with them. This is a normal part of the growing process. But you've got to work with them because if you do not, you run the danger of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how does one do this?
You've got to get close enough to the pain and experience it without getting completely consumed by it. You have to be willing to bring yourself to the painful places and let the thoughts and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally out of the game. When you can do that, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes a bit of skill and plenty of practice, but if you can really spend a while working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
