In the story of Adam and Eve, we often view the serpent as the villain. But what if the serpent wasn’t the bad guy? The fruit it offered was from the Tree of Knowledge. Can you truly live a happy, loving, and fulfilled life without knowledge and understanding? Knowledge is often key to finding purpose, and purpose is central to fulfillment. But how do you discover that purpose? Too often, we follow paths laid out for us by others—whether it's family, society, or the influences of social media. These external pressures can lead us astray, far from our true calling.
When you face an inner struggle between your thoughts and emotions, which one tends to win? Should there even be a winner? Perhaps the answer lies in finding harmony between the two. It’s interesting how life often sends signals when you’re not on the right path. Whether it’s a difficult person or a challenging situation, these moments can shine a light on whether you are following the path meant for you. Unfortunately, for many, the wake-up call comes only after hitting rock bottom. But remember, once you’re at the bottom, the only way is up.
The key to climbing out of suffering lies in divine knowledge—not necessarily knowledge of a divine entity, but an awareness of the divinely lit path you’re meant to follow. The old saying rings true: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” This teacher may come in many forms, and effective relationships are often crucial in gaining the wisdom being passed down. The question is: will you be open and receptive, or closed and resistant?
Your journey is yours alone. Are your values, priorities, and actions aligned with your deepest dreams, desires, and wishes? Or are they aligned with the expectations of society and those around you? What does success look like for you? Is it something you believe is achievable, or are you letting it slip away like dust in the wind?
At the end of the day, it all boils down to one powerful truth: you have free will. The path you choose is entirely yours.
