Everything is perfect. Don't believe me?

Have you ever wished that things were different? Have you ever fantasized about a past relationship or job that you wish had worked out? Have you ever wondered why you're not at the "promised land" yet?

I have had all of these thoughts, and if you're anything like me, you have too. At times, in between the busyness of the day, when you're not working, exercising, scrolling on social media or taking care of your family, there can be a nagging feeling that things should somehow be different than this.

Well, today I am here to reassure you that everything, is actually exactly as it needs to be. Would I bother you if I said that everything is actually perfect? You're in the right place at the right time for a specific purpose.

If you're dealing with stress or loss, trauma or financial insecurity, you might say, "But Christina, how could everything be perfect when {list out all of your issues here}." I'll wait. Come up with every reason you can for why your life is not perfect, and I will tell you why it is perfect even with all of those things.

The truth is, life is a spiritual journey - a really big school for personal development, if you will. Every conversation, every situation, every loss, every trauma, every obstacle is simply a course, a class, a lesson, dare I say, an opportunity.

We can look at our lives in one of two ways: with eyes of clay or with eyes of Spirit.

The eyes of clay see only clay. They see everything for what it is on the surface. A rock is a rock, nothing more. Luck is random to the eyes of clay, believing you can't do anything about it. Once you lose something it's gone. Death is final, nothing more, and so life is a process of slow death and diminishment, loss and pain until you return back to clay.

The eyes of Spirit see beyond clay. They look beyond what is to what can be. A rock can be made into something like a tool or a spearhead. Luck can be generated by directing one's energy. Loss is simply an opportunity to learn from mistakes so that you can gain more in the future. And death is a necessary step before rebirth.

When you look at your life through the eyes of Spirit, all is well, always. Everything is simply a course, a class, a lesson, an opportunity. As long as you resist the experiences and look outwardly, with jealousy, fear, regret, and negative emotion, wishing things were different, you prevent yourself from learning the lesson and end up being held back, having to repeating the class until you pass. Repeating cycles, anyone?

But as soon as you accept and embrace your current situation, dare I say, find a way to love it and recognize that this is exactly what you need to be experiencing in order to learn, suddenly the lesson is learned.
