Whenever one takes a voyage at sea you've always got to be prepared for the water to get a little rough at times. Why even in the best of weather there are very strong currents in certain parts of the ocean which create huge swells which lead to excessive ups and downs as the journey continues toward the desired destination. Well this is a very good analogy for our life too as we sail the seas from one day to another on our way to home port, success city. Yes indeed it is a given that we will all experience ups and downs in our life. It's inevitable as that's the way life works, in cycles.
That's right, as we proceed through life, there's absolutely no doubt about it whatsoever, we will experience some good times and some not so good times as the tides of time ebb. So the question which we all ponder is, how do we deal effectively with these inevitable ups and downs, the highs and lows.
Well firstly, just fully understanding the concept as stated already, that the whole universe and our individual life operates in cycles is the very first step in assisting us in dealing with the ups and downs, for we fully understand that "A" we should not get too full of ourselves during the high cycle as we know it will not last forever, and "B" we don't allow ourselves to get down and despondent during the inevitable low periods of our life.
Yes indeed, life is rarely smooth sailing on our way to our desired destination. Of course, the ultimate method of dealing with the ups and downs of life, is to have a very strong spiritual foundation in place. All successful lives need of necessity to be built on a very strong spiritual foundation.
So in the down cycles we just center ourselves and spend some time in quiet meditation with the Creator who can calm us during the stressful times of life and bring us safely back to the sunshine of success and much calmer times.
