Interestingly, when we get knocked out of the box, it’s likely not some inherent flaw in us. Perhaps it is possible that God wants us to embark on a mission elsewhere, meet significant individuals with whom we have a “soul contract,” or overcome obstacles so that we can help guide others in doing the same. Being pushed out of our comfort zone also motivates us to achieve extraordinary things that will propel the world towards its ultimate purpose: unconditional love for all or, in other words, wisdom. Regardless, sometimes we get knocked out of the box; therefore, by default, one of our missions is to find our way back to the radiant light.
In light of recent unemployment, I need quick revenue, so I must get frugal. To generate fast revenue, I offered video services on Upwork, a freelance platform, lowballing the fee, as I was offering videos for free anyway, including to a Buddhist temple. So, I’m waiting to hear back from Upwork. But we must keep learning new skills daily because skills are potential sources of fast revenue.
However, today, I am certified as a marital relationship coach by an organization focusing on unconditional love. I won’t set up a side business doing the marital coaching as a loved one wants me to avoid going this route. However, I believe I’d do well at providing hope and inspiration and bringing relationships closer together. I love sending text messages filled with positivity and encouraging advice. We all have beautiful strengths that make us feel amazing when expressed. So, we must demonstrate those positive character traits so the world flourishes from our incredible existence.
But if I were to perform the coaching, I’d need to create a presentation using a teleprompter with bullet points, seriously rehearsed at least one hundred times. Even though I am not proceeding with this dream, I know that if we seek out our dreams, they advance our knowledge and awareness, even if they don’t materialize themselves. But they materialize in ways we may not be fully aware of, such as through a radically improved worldview or the ability to engage in heightened self-talk or comfort others.
For instance, a beloved friend texted about a heartache she was going through. Drawing from my education as a relationship coach, I offered her advice that I would personally love to receive. I look forward to finding more opportunities to help others, such as participating in online forums where people seek support. When we comfort others, we bring them peace while finding a more profound sense of contentment within ourselves.
Healthy food is also a form of comfort. I have over 30 cans of mixed beans after giving away about 30 cans at Christmas, as the bin of Christmas donations involved mostly cake mixes and nothing healthy except the beans. If we are stricken with an autoimmune condition, canned mixed beans will catapult us to more excellent health than any other protein, from my experience. I also have salmon, sour cabbage, and bags of Sunny Boy Cereal, so things look promising. We face our setbacks and losses with contentment when we count our blessings.
However, when we’re knocked out of the box, the goal is to get back in the game. Getting back in the game is best done with a heart filled with gratitude, service, and love. So, keep throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks. And, as always, we should set impossible goals, just like Olympians do, even though, for some odd reason, they advise us to set “realistic” ones. Indeed, goals that are so glorious that they seem impossible for us to achieve are the ideal ones to set. That’s because such impossible goals grow more stimulating and “realistic” by the microsecond.
