What Are the Pitfalls During Transformation

What are all the pitfalls during transformation? What are the hidden or unsuspected difficulties during the journey of transformation?   Have you received a "calling"? If you have, what have you done to make it come into fruition? A lot of people don't understand what I am about to say. When a calling happens, there's resistance. We may be excitement to get started, and, perhaps, we may take some steps. But soon enough, many of us get overwhelmed, lost, inundated with ideas or none at all, or simply allow life to take over and nothing happens.  Receiving a calling is a challenge. A calling is about stepping into the unknown which can be one of the scariest things for a human to do.  Why is this so scary? Because the majority of us are living in survival.

To understand and grow into our own beingness. We live in a diverse world of contrast, and we are not going to like everything. Can you imagine that? That would be pretty boooring.

It is up to us to look for the things that we do like and want but not condemn the things we do not like or don't want. The funny things about looking at things we don't want, is that it creates ideas and movement for what we do want. Hm. It sounds like it gives us more clarity. It is also up to us to react to things that we find challenging with more patience and an equanimity manner, as Jung states.

When we do live in this manner, we begin to look at others with compassion, love and kindness, rather than judgement. Judgement comes from believing our truth is the only truth. Truth is never constant. It always changes. What one believes, not all others will believe. What you believe to be true today, will not be true for you tomorrow. And that is just perfect.
