The Phoenix—Rising from the Ashes! #phoenix
Nothing intrigues me more than the classical myth of the phoenix, which
was a unique bird that lived for five or six centuries in the Arabian Desert. After
this time, it burned itself on a funeral pyre and rose from the ashes with renewed
youth to live through another cycle. The reason I’m so enamored by this myth is
because of out of all the struggles in my life and the most painful times I can
remember, I have had my greatest epiphanies and aha moments.
We don’t need a genius to see that everyone from the richest to the
poorest person experiences grief, sadness, and loss. Life is rife with change,
because, existentially, everything we look at is aging each moment of every
day. So, plants die, people cease to exist, and relationships weather the
storm, but often pass away as well. So, the secret to being happy is coming to
this harsh realization.
However, an even greater secret is in the mystery of the phoenix. If we
believe that all things are in Divine Order, than we must understand that our
human existence is for a purpose. So, all loss comes as a lesson in humanity
and rises from the ashes to become spiritual and human lessons.
Recently, I faced a few personal losses all at the same time. I have to
tell you that my self-talk every morning began with many affirmations,
including my favorite: Letting Go is merely a matter of making room for something
bigger and greater. In my relationship corner of my room, following the concept
of Feng Shui, I put a picture of a butterfly, which represents transformation.
In the following weeks after my perceived losses, I have found more joy and
hope than I could have ever imagined. Yes, I continue to have some grief about
my losses, which is normal, but my happiness definitely has begun to exponentially
outweigh the pain.
Know this: Every moment of every day, life passes
the moment it happens. The secret to happiness is to love the next moment more
than you grieve the loss of the past.
