Changing your life isn't easy. It's very tough. I mean, incredibly hard.
For anyone who really has seriously attempted to make some important changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same way any more, you've probably experienced the growing pains that come together with deciding to live in another way. You are continually tested, you fail time and again, and it's hard to see the world in the light of cheerfulness.
It does not necessarily need to be that way.
You see, people struggle with deep change because they don't know the skilled way to act when the negative feelings start bubbling up. They think that because negativity is occuring that they've got to be doing some things wrong. No! Not at all. In reality if you're fighting and it hurts a little, you are doing things right. You are growing. You're moving past your comfort zone.
When you're going through huge changes, you're going to come across some important problems. Pain is going to come out to play, your inner critic is going to run wild, and you are going to have some struggles. In truth, that is perfectly ok! That really means you are heading in the correct direction. Don't quit now when you are really in pain. Keep going and see it all the way through and you may cross the finish line a transformed person.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the way to get sufficiently near to the agony to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are creating a new life, old things have a tendency to trickle out and you have got to spend some time working with them. This is a normal part of the growing process. But you have to work with them because if you fail to, you run the danger of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you do this?
You've got to get close enough to the pain and experience it without getting utterly consumed by it. You've got to be willing to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and feelings and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally out of the game. When you can do this, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes a bit of talent and a lot of practice, but if you can actually spend some time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
