Allow yourself to live

Author: Nina Sumire

One day I heard these words and they really resonated with me. They responded to what was and lived somewhere deep, deep in my heart.

We are given by fate much more good things than we take, than we allow ourselves.

We refuse, we refuse voluntarily. Or we forbid ourselves.

The prohibition to rejoice, to be healthy, rested, inspired, successful, decisive, opening new horizons of happy events.

Life is prohibited. How does it feel?

I began to ask this question after the words of one of my friends: “Life is suffering, purification. If you suffer, it means you develop, that’s how God wants it.”

Everything would be fine. If nothing else. But this motto is very clearly embodied in the events of my friend. As soon as you ask about her affairs, the answers are the same: illness, quarrels with her husband, problems with children, severe fatigue, problems at work, everyday troubles…

It is very noticeable how internal dissatisfaction is growing. It does not break through because it is compensated by the conviction that this is what God wants.

Are only negative events really sent to us “through karma”? And are they essentially negative? Maybe educational?

This way, you will really get tired and disappointed in life, waiting “when it’s all over,” reacting with an inner “yes” to another reason to suffer.

Refusing what makes you happy, inspires, fills, consoles, carries you into blissful states… Always or sometimes.

Is God against us, healthy, rested, filled with new ideas and impressions?

Is he against us seeing the beauty of sunrises, mysterious sunsets, against us breathing with love, inhaling the aromas of flowers, admiring the coming spring?

Is he against our relaxation on a walk, on a trip, on a hike, on the couch? Is he against peace and harmony in our family? Is he against us being successful, wealthy, fulfilled in our talents? Is he against us being beautiful?

Sometimes we may notice that we have forbidden ourselves a lot for various reasons:

– to enjoy life when we have experienced the loss of loved ones. Then we exist for years without living;

– never dare to reveal our talents and abilities because of prejudices about our family, where we come from, or because of age, lack of a certain education. Those whom I love to read – at the so-called age, it is more interesting for me to hear the voice of wisdom, which has seen a lot and made many everyday conclusions. And many of my authors are far from the “dream” of receiving a philologist’s degree. Because their writing soul was like that from birth. Yes, of course, they remembered something, improved something in themselves. But most importantly, they allowed themselves to live a creative life, despite…;

– never decide to live a happy family life because of feelings of guilt or because of the pain of the past, fears of the future;

– we can prohibit ourselves from receiving gifts, compliments, help, seeing signs of love, attention, and then feeling lonely.

But who doesn’t give us all this? God, other people, fate-karma, age, “accidents”, “it just happened”?

It’s given to us. But are our palms open? Is our heart open?

I remember a completely absurd story for me now. It was instructive. I’m still ashamed. First of all, before yourself. For stupidity.

Once I heard from people I respect very much that only “materialists”, people far from spirituality, write books. Like, just take care of the spiritual, the list is limited.

Honestly, I didn’t really understand then, as I do now, that anything supposedly material can be solved in completely spiritual ways. Well, not just any kind, but good material things, of course.

And then I heard that the Internet is the abode of evil. This was several years ago. Happened to some “interesting” version of me.

And here I am at the training of Oleg Georgievich Gadetsky. I ask questions about creativity: to be or not to be. You can guess what he answered.

Talents are given to us by God. Refusing gifts means not following the path destined for you.

I stand, shedding tears: was it even possible? Stupidity is rare))

That’s why it’s so important to test any knowledge with your heart.

Is it right for you?

Maybe your path is so twisted that the rigid framework with which the other person is so happy does not fit?

Allow yourself to live…

Cry in the rain if you want. And if you want, then dance.

Learn to live an even fuller life after losses. Live for yourself and for that guy.

Understand your past and not give it the right to dictate the scenario of your present.

Learn to accept not only the lessons of life, but also its changes with rest, holidays with joy, holidays with opportunities.

Receive, receive, receive as many impressions, images, stories as possible.

Recalling fresh memories…

How today’s sunset embraced me. How tender is the kiss of the wind on your cheek. How sensitive is the heart of the tree that you carefully touched. How warm and understanding the palms of someone close to you are. How promising this morning is.

Because one day you will ask yourself: what did you live for? What was your life about?

About “eternal” fatigue, illness, pain and suffering? About regrets, how much was irretrievably lost at the stops “it’s too late for me”, “this is not about me, I’m not worthy”, “I wouldn’t have succeeded anyway”?

And so that there are no such answers, it is important, it is so important to allow yourself to live. Not to exist, not to survive, not only to experience.

And to live.

With open palms for amazing and wonderful events, with an open heart for love and happiness.

From now onwards.

Wish you happiness!
