When Is The Breakthrough Coming?!


Embracing Change & Growth
by Mario A. Campanaro
Have you ever spent time contemplating that age-old question: Why me? It’s one of those internal dialogues that secretly plagues each and every one of us, while the rest of the world seems to have their $#*+ together. Looking out at life, it appears easy for everyone else, and they seem to be getting ahead. They all seem so happy, peaceful, blissful, successful, talented, healthy, in shape, and attractive. My God… they have EVERYTHING I want. They have EVERYTHING I need.
Meanwhile, you struggle in silence, hoping for some miraculous breakthrough that will free you from whatever is holding you back from achieving your grand purpose in life. And no matter how hard you try, no matter how much work you put in, that miracle breakthrough never seems to show up. Every little gain you make slips away, and there you are again, back at square one, in the very place you once thought you'd overcome.
There’s no momentum, no change. The fight starts to feel fruitless, and you become like prey caught in a web of unfortunate circumstances, ready to be consumed by life's dark forces. So, you wait for it to happen. You wait for the collapse, for the consumption. You live in anticipation of your demise.
And you wait... and you wait some more.
But then, something strange happens. Nothing comes to destroy you. You sit with the noise of your own hazardous internal monologue, or maybe you finally give voice to that thought process and find yourself in a puddle of your own tears, asking out loud, Why me?
Maybe some answers start to come. Maybe that thing you're facing is there to guard you from something that’s not good for you. Maybe it’s there to protect you from what you’re not yet ready for. Maybe it's not there to destroy you, but to help you expand and grow. Maybe it’s there to awaken you to an internal strength you never knew you had. Maybe it's there to remind you to forgive, or to open your heart to a depth of love for others you’ve yet to discover. Maybe it’s there to show you a depth of self-love you’ve never known.
Maybe that thing is there to teach you, in a visceral way, what you’re meant to share with the world. Maybe that thing is not the enemy, but rather a stepping stone to your own victory. Maybe that thing, which feels like it’s holding you back, is the very thing you need to unlock your own happiness, peace, bliss, success, talent, beauty, health, and vitality.
Is it scary? Oh yeah... it’s scary as F#(% But no growth has ever come without growing pains. And if that thing has come into your life, you have the power to transmute it. All you can do is continue doing the very best you can with what you have, never losing hope or faith in your own ability to overcome.
If someone comes to help along the way... HALLELUJAH! But if not... remember: Each and every one of us has the power within to transform even the worst of circumstances into our very own blessing that can then be shared with the world.
So hold on. You got this. It may take some time, but if you're reading this right now, you have been blessed with the time to make it happen.
So keep going!
