The Realisation....

Lately I have been thinking that you really cannot plan life....
I am a big fan of Oprah Winfrey not just because she made it big against all odds but for the simple reason that over the years I just seem to agree with most of everything that she has to say. Now I am not the kind of person who follows people blindly...I always seem to have an opinion about everything. But Oprah is something else. Anyways I read the following in one of her mails (yeah.. i am a regular visitor to her site and therefore have subscribed for news letters) on spirituality when she was doing this online weekly session of Eckhart Tolle's book " A new earth" :
Allowing the truth of who you are—your spiritual self—to rule your life means you stop the struggle and learn to move with the flow of your life. As Eckhart says in A New Earth, "There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance."

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.....that hit me...it summarizes in one simple sentence what I have been experiencing all my life...no matter how hard I tried I have never received anything that I wanted at the time I wanted them, rather i received the exact thing when the time was perfect.....and I have been overlooking this all my life and therefore have been struggling. I know that things will happen to me at their destined time...I should therefore relax and just be the dance and since then I haven't been planning much and am excited about the mysteries this life is waiting to unravel ......
