Discovering Desires Through Experience

Awareness and appreciation of the gifts that you’ve set forth for yourself along your physical trail, in order to experience everything you desired before you arrived, is truly all that it takes to achieve the alignment of your path. Experiencing the many different types of emotions was desired for you to feel broadly across the spectrum of the rainbow, or the myriad of choices.

How will you know that your favorite color is blue unless you compare and contrast it against the other colors? How will you know that there is a certain shade of blue that most suits your liking or tickles your fancy more than others unless you delve deeper into the spectrum? The same principle applies to life’s experiences. The contrasting experiences of what you do like more clearly define what you don’t like, clearing a film from your windshield to see brighter, more defined details. The sharpness of contrast for clarification dials in closer to your true desires.

All is there for you to use to your benefit, not your dismay. Having everything you consider perfect doesn’t offer that benefit. You may think or feel that everything is great and be satisfied, but you would not remain so with the same experience each day for millennia. You are here to experience, and once you've experienced everything—which is impossible to complete—if you become stagnant, bored, uninterested, disillusioned, or staid, you check out or sit on the sidelines of experience, watching the stream float by.

Jump in. Into the fray, feel your way through what’s wanted and what’s not. You will find and discover more about your fullness of desire than you even thought possible. That’s the game; that’s your purpose. Hit the bullseye through trial and error and enjoy it all—the misses, the lessons, and the fun of it. You’re on track; move toward your enticing opportunities, whatever that may seem like. You haven’t missed the mark; you’re in practice. Enjoy that—every step, every misstep. Find the fun in it all.
