Hospitality House in the Bitter episode

Emotions are not just quick reactions. It is basic evidence for human communication and survival. Either through calm pain sadness Or an unexpected flood of tears in moments of joy, our emotional expressions reveal what matters most. Crying, in particular, speaks to this paradox: it can calm internal tension, indicate the need for support, or mark the beauty of love and the overwhelming meaning. In this way, both sadness and joy become invitations, reminding that feeling deep is not weak, but deep strength.

Perhaps, then, it is better to imagine our inner life as a guest house, where each of them Passion She reaches her own story, her own lesson. What happens when we stop removing some guests and instead we start welcoming them all? Among them is satisfaction. It does not knock out loud or asks attentionBut it slides quietly when we imagine life as a whole and enough. Satisfaction is the guest who sits quietly in the corner, and reminds us that nothing more, this existence itself can be completed.

Through philosophical, SpiritualismScientific traditions, satisfaction has been recorded as a deep form of wealth. Perhaps this calm guest will give us more than stillness, but it calls for a new radical lens to see our lives.

What if you were in moments more than others FearfulDo you realize that you live with great courage? What if, when you feel lonely, you realize that you are really free and achieved the most daring challenge ever? What if, instead of believing that your life is out of control, you are Grateful To get a lot of opportunities to provide your family and others? What if, in the midst of the pain of the loss of a member of his family, without answers to your questions, find a way to believe?

What if our lives, as Rumi suggested, guesthouse? What if we welcomed both bitter and sweet, and allow us to space us to really taste joy and bend at the end of life with reverence, due to the depth of great love?

The double beer duplication allows us to fully appreciate the joy of life and more humble in the ends of life with reverence, due to the depth of great love. Joy and sadness are two sides of the same currency.

Do our struggles show us what is wrong in our lives and society, or do they really refer to a better world, and provide us with lessons, not to move away from them, but rather move towards it?

Feeling of the relationship?

When you feel stuck, how do you explode? First, by knowing that hope is not a great dream. The radical word of hope comes from faith well without seeing it, just as you do not know what the present will be under the Christmas tree, but you trust that it will be good and enjoy it before you see what it is.

Rumi believed that the wound is the place where the light enters; Marcus Aurelius wrote that the obstacle to work is progressing. Napoleon told us all the tribulations, and every failure, and every heartache carries with him equal or larger benefit seeds; And VikTor Frankl, in A man’s search for meaningI found that:

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last human freedoms – to choose the individual’s position in any set of conditions, to choose a person.”

Frankl, a psychiatrist was imprisoned during the Holocaust, found that those who were also Premature Or he did not escape from the hopelessness of it. But those who did not find meaning in what they had “liberated from”, but who took “freedom” – in surrender or another participation of the baking summit, comfort and encouraging others – can bear the most wonderful conditions. Give people the “essence of existence”.

Even if you never improve

“I believe in the sun even when it is not bright. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it. I believe in God even when it is silent.”

This was a written quote on a basement wall in Germany during the Holocaust. It is an official reminder that hope must survive in both the light of life and darkness. Even if you never improve, this is a difficult fact, but it is a firm fact that we lie down in moments of despair, and stand with our backs.

If you fall into the trap of what psychologists call “black and white thinking”, believing that it is all bad because there is one bad thing, or a disaster (“” this may mean … “or” what if … “), is born anxiety And uncertainty. What if you focus instead on what is equal or larger for the savings you are facing now? What if you tried this theory for one week? What do you have to lose? The seed of hope, I would like to imagine.

Do not let this seed of hope unanimously. In order to grow seeds, they must be grown in good soil and receive water and fertilizers – disappointments and life lessons. Do not let her get lost. Let all the emotions of life and lessons are your guest.

guest house

“This person is a hospitality house. Every morning, a new arrival. Farha, a depressionAnd the meaning, some awareness of the moment comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome to all of them! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who swept your home vigorously empty of its furniture, they still treat every guest with honor. It may clarify you for some new joy. Dark thought, shameThe slag, met them at the door laughing and inviting them. Rumi

What if Viktor Frankl is right: instead of freeing from shame, pain and sadness, we aim to completely live in life? Instead of moving away from sadness, let it enter. My yoga teacher is visually presented: hands rest on our shoulders, one of which is called Joy and The Other Store. Do not seek a hand to break us; Instead, when they are welcomed, they disobey our soul, grow our understanding, and expand our ability to live completely.

So what if sweet and the road is really at home? It is not a circumvention, not a defect in the home plan, but the path that reveals your courage, freedom, and your ability to love and loved. Living with the meaning is to live with both pain and possibility. In this tension in sweet and bitter, you may find that you have not lost at all. You are simply directed to yourself: the house.

Will your home look different today if you open your guest rooms to welcome both joy and sadness? This is the invitation: to become a generous host for everything that life brings. To allow joy to stay without GuiltSadness speaks without shame. To trust that every visitor He laughed Or longing, he has something that teaches us what love, loss and living are completely.

What is the forgotten door that they may open with kindness, and invite you to live in the place that never dared stay, and what kind of host that you may become if you allow them to stay for a little longer?
