Everything is too intentional...
 

These last four years mainly... but I just look back and realize how much of my life seems... intentional... These last four years I have learned so many lessons one after another. Hard lessons that I couldn't have learned any other way. These things, which just seemed like things I would have been happier if they didn't happen, have taught me some of the most valuable lessons I have ever learned. They just happened so fast, so suddenly one after another it was just hard to see it at the time.

I look back though and it just seems too intentional. Almost like it was on purpose, like it all just happened to teach me or to setup for something later. It's almost like I was, and probably still are, being prepared for something. I even feel like I am being guided, like I have been set on a path to something almost.

Could I be being guided towards something? If it seems like I am is there a way I could figure out how I am being guided?

And would a guide be a legit spirit? Or is it something inside of me?

Some believe that spirit guides are actually guides, some say they are good entities, others say they are the dearly departed. Some say they are within yourself and represent your highest truth. That, I choose among those three.

Yes, I believe you are being guided. But --- this is just my personal thought --- I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to put your life into other people's hands. I think it's best we take over. I say let your guides show you the way when you are "lost", but you must walk it yourself.

I think we should create every moment, create yourself, every new moment...

The last few years for me, have been pretty difficult. It seems just when you pick yourself up, something else comes along to knock you back down.

It's gotten to the point, where I'm skeptical of anything appearing good that comes into my life, as there always seems to be a hidden cost or lesson involved.

I just thank god for my inner circle, because without them, I truly would have nothing. They have been my rock through all the tough times.

But to answer the OP, yes it's intentional. One test ends, another begins... I just wonder why some of us are tested so stringently and others can lead a life of abundance with relatively few tests...

I don't know if it's for the good or the bad, good spirits or bad spirits in your case, but in the last few years my life has been guided also, and it was cool. After I realized that, I would wake up each day and think: hmm, I wonder what I will learn today... All things were falling into place, one after another, in the logical order, things I had to learn. And I was taken on a journey of discovering something and leaving my previous knowledge/beliefs behind.

DayLight, that's a positive slant on looking at things and how they happen.

Sometimes I think things happen for a certain reason, if there is a lesson to learn perhaps and sometimes I think things happen because of choices we make along the way. Then there is the line of thinking of Divine timing, things happening when they are supposed to .And sometimes I am not sure of any of it. :smile:

just a thought here, immortal coil, on the being skeptical...

if one is expecting things to happen a certain way, such as having a hidden cost or lesson, it seems then the Universe provides us with what we are expecting. Maybe if you could change your expectations to expecting something good without any other attachments, things may change for the better ?

I would have to agree with you, although for the longest time I practiced the positivity you speak of, and it didn't seem to make much difference on any particular outcome.

So what I do now, is to not place any expectations on a given situation. Emotionally detach from it as much as I can. Try to remain positive that I'm on the right path and that I will be given what I need.

At this point, I don't know another way to live.

Thanks for your thought though!

immortal coil,

I know, sometimes things we hear of don't always seem to help when we try them. There have been times when I know I should be thinking positively, but it just doesn't work.

I think you have the key there on the expectations ~ someone once said " don't expect, just accept " in that way one isn't disappointed. This fits in nicely when reading about other peoples experiences and thinking one might have exactly the same, so not to be disappointed if they are different. .... strayed a bit with this tidbit of info :smile:

Best wishes to you on your journey ! :hug:

How do I talk to my guide?
