There will always be surprises in life or things you never saw coming. They can be good things like finding the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, knowing exactly what you want to do with your life. There can also be surprises that come up we wish we never knew such as losing a loved one, losing our faith in life, feeling consumed by the things we said we would never do. Again, it is a balance, so we can never stray off course too much or things will go bad quickly. Let the painters of the world paint their lies and if people believe it not your problem. It is not your problem if everyone turns on you, but it becomes a big problem when you do it to yourself. When you stay the course, understand what is going on, see the actions of what everyone is doing. This then opens your world to be able to understand and experience innovative ideas. It would not matter if everyone I knew disapproved of what I was doing, because it would only matter if I knew it. There can be a fog that comes over us where we do not know what is true and what is false about ourselves. Even if we spend all this time with ourselves, we do not know our true nature or what we can do. Then one day thankfully the fog lifts from us and the pictures can feel fully seen. What do we see then? We see our truth and the truth of the situations that may have bothered us for long. The answers start coming in from everywhere and some answers you were never really seeking. They come in and you then understand where life has taken you to at this very moment. The clarity is there and you realize whether what you were worried about was time worth worrying. The victory you will realize comes to you when you see what you can do and the strength you never knew you had. When it comes you do say that everything is going smoothly, but you continue to push on continuing the excellent work you are doing. Let people believe the fake story about yourself or what you are doing. The anger will not win you with anybody. The fear will not give you the strength to pursue your dreams. The validation will not be able to save you from falling on your face. It is a tough, balanced, world out there and you need to be ready to handle it. Do not think that every answer exists already because you will end up mistaken. The unpredictability of life can leave somebody speechless for the moment. It knows how to say all the right words, while it does not say anything. Do you want to know the answer to something? Then just continue preparing yourself for it and it will come. You do not get to decide sometimes when you get to find the answer to the question.
