Dealing with the unexpected

by. Maira Mendez

Our lives are full of unexpected situations. We try to plan, have a routine and maintain an illusion of control, but the next unexpected situation will still be waiting for us around the corner.

Our lives are full of unexpected situations. We try to plan, have a routine and maintain an illusion of control, but the next unexpected situation will still be waiting for us around the corner.

We are human beings and our brain perceives change and the unexpected as a threat, it is a survival instinct. And when an unexpected experience arrives, it is easy to get carried away by ignorance, beliefs, and education that make us act and react in a thousand ways.

Actions define us and by acting influenced by all these factors, we assume a false identity and we distance ourselves from who we are.

For this reason, to stay true to myself, every day I say to the present here and now: love the past and live the future. It is my everyday mantra.

It is not easy, but it is possible.

Each experience brings us knowledge and we can try to assimilate it by identifying our emotions. If we come to understand the root of the emotion, it becomes easier for us to help others without judging. Being neither judge, nor executioner.

The human experience is wonderful, going further is our purpose.

I am grateful that La Jardinera exists. Today we are living the time that she announced to us, time to join forces and not lower our arms. The Enseñanza is present in every treatment and meditation.

The Strength is always with us
