There is no lotto to be won, no lucky break, no quick fix. The thing to do is to integrate difficult emotions. To hold the discomfort without condition.
Our lives automatically become better when we process emotional garbage into compost.
The crux is that it’s difficult. The capacity to hold and process difficult emotions is something that must be cultivated over years. It’s a challenging skill to learn. But the difficulty is matched by equal measures of spiritual and emotional improvement after integration.
In other words, if we process through something truly shattering, we can expect to feel elevated peace in equal measures afterwards. This peace is more than mere happiness or pleasure. It’s a sense of deep spiritual connection.
It is at this point that we can expect the inner change to ripple into outer change.
