Where We Are Is Where We Are Supposed To Be

My partner and I were having a conversation today about life and she was saying that if this or that was different then we would be doing different things in a different place but I am a firm believer that things are the way they are for a reason.

I've been a big fan of Deepak Chopra for almost seventeen years now. In his book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, he says we should accept that things are the way they are supposed to be.  This theory falls under the Law of Least Effort. Deepak says, "This law is based on the fact that nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease and abandoned carefreeness. This is the principle of least action, of no resistance."

In applying this law to our lives, we should accept our circumstances for what they are because things are the way they are supposed to be because the universe is where it's supposed to be.  It's all a part of karmic choices and the paths that we have chosen that have led us down the paths we have followed.  We are led down these paths by the forces that rule the universe because where we are will lead to events that are supposed to happen as the play of life unfolds as the forces want them to unfold.

Whether you believe in fate, destiny, divine will, predestination or whatever other term fits your description of how you think the future is determined, the bottom line is that you are where you are now because it was predetermined by some force that this is where you are supposed to be.

Sometimes this is frustrating especially when things are not going the way you want them to.  But, when we find the silence within and really listen to the inner voice that leads us, we can find ways to change our paths to better places where we hope to be at some point in our lives. Too often we have too much noise in our heads and we make incorrect choices that lead us further from where we want to be and often further from where the forces ruling this world want us to be.

The Law of Least Effort is followed by the Law of Intention and Desire. Think about where you really want to be in your life and meditate on it. You will create a ripple effect that will eventually take you to where you want to be but you have to be patient, things will unfold the way they are supposed to. Remember to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it and if things are happening exactly the way you want them to there's a reason. Namaste.
