Life is what happens to us when we have other plans, is, I think, a paraphrase of John Lennon, the great lyricist of Beatles fame. Perhaps Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (President-elect) in Iran could be thinking just that right now, as the people Iran rise up to demonstrate that they had other plans. Big story to be continued.
So when life happens, it can mean we are thrown off life’s course as we have designed it. Barriers and challenges get in the way of what we dreamed our life to be. The vision we held becomes blurred, cloudy or even blacks out. It can happen when we get very sick, lose family members, our jobs, our homes and businesses. There are so many stories out there in our current climate that seem to suggest life doesn’t always go according to plan.
Right in your face steps the aliveness of life – with its fullest passion urging you to take personal responsibility for what you really care about. History shows us repeatedly that human resiliency and adaptability triumphs. In times such as these, we reconnect to our universal human values and feel that which makes us alive.
So whether you are protesting to have your vote counted in Iran, for medical reform in the US, for a fair living wage in developing countries , or in support of your own personal challenges whereever you are, let passion be your power!
