Life is a ride
Life has a habit of throwing me, you and everyone events that seem to put us in our place, make us feel isolated and feel generally stuck.
They can come at us out of the blue, or sometimes they have been bubbling beneath waiting to be unleashed when we do not suspect it or want it.
So yes, ‘stuff’ happens in our live.
We have to remember life is an experience, an experience that holds many points. It’s our subjective experience of those events that get us caught up, cause to feel stuck. But there’s other people now matter what they go through act and react in a way that they see it as just a challenge they can and will overcome.
My favourite all time Comedian is Bill Hicks who passed away early on in live, he had this quote which has always stuck with me.
“The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and its fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride...”
Life’s ‘stuff’, is the slow ride up to the scary high point of the ride. But it’s a ride, an experience, it’s something we can go with and remember this is a ride.
Remember this is a ride.
It doesn’t mean we should not take life seriously, because we should, but not so serious that we feel stuck and can’t change our circumstances.
We can change everything, we can change the world, and we can be the ride.
It’s all about how your perceive life, how you react to it. Do react with positive mindset? Do you react with hope and gratitude? Do you react in a way that allows you to be the creator? Do you react in a way that this is a ride and I can be a do what I wish as this is a ride.
There’s a whole lot of bad things happening in the world, but we should not act or react to it by being fearful, resentful or feeling hopeless. That just breeds more fear, resent and hopelessness. Seize it, make a difference, and do what Ghandi once said.
“Be the change you want to see in the world”
