Let's Talk About the Labyrinth of Life | Mindfulness

Life sometimes resembles a labyrinth. If you don't know where to go, you will always be lost. We look for the exit through the outer walls of the corridors when, in reality, the door is within us. This is the secret of the most sophisticated labyrinth that has ever existed: Life.

It is necessary that each one knows how to read the letters of his own book; that he perceives where the flow of destiny wants to take him. Sometimes the Universe wants you to insist, to face the challenges inherent to your improvement and strengthening; sometimes it is necessary to give up desires because they are not part of the need for evolution of your being, which requires you to go in another direction, in search of your true meaning. To understand this is to decipher Life.

The ego, motivated by still primitive social conventions, leads us in that direction. But what are the real needs of your soul? Only to grow and evolve.

We continue to pay more attention to the appearance than to the essence, as if the best thing about a fruit were the color of the peel, and not the sweetness of its contents. We need to understand our immortality through the spirit that we are; each one receives the lesson that suits him or her at each moment of the journey, to reconcile the desires of the ego with the interests of the soul, in a journey of infinite possibilities.

Economic hardship for some may explain the need for courage through work; the economic abundance of others can be a hard test of compassion in the realization of precious works, through the exercise of the refined wisdom of love. The illness of the body can be a miraculous remedy for the spirit, just as the absence of aesthetic beauty can mean the opportunity to build a charm, through noble gestures that show that the light that best seduces is the one that shines from the inside out, and thus differentiate the eternal from that which will inexorably be devoured by time.

There are three ways. The first is to learn to listen to our intuition. Intuition is present when your soul advises your ego or, better yet, when the voice of the angels is heard. The most common risk in these cases is to confuse our fears and desires with our true intuition.

The second is to pay attention to the signs and know how to interpret them. Life speaks to us through them, which makes them a powerful ally to perceive ourselves in the best way possible. However, it is important to remember that even if we travel on the sunny side of the road, there will be times of difficulties and challenges that will require effort and patience, courage and humility. The risk, in this case, is to see non-existent signals. It is necessary to learn to see. This is not easy, but it is indispensable.

Whenever the Camino presents you with a fork in the road where, on one side, the avenue of fame is shown, and on the other the street of love is indicated, take the latter. Either we walk for love or we will be postponing the journey.

Everyone imagines that the exit is in the outer walls, because they want to conquer the world, when in truth the secret is to continue towards the center of the labyrinth where they will find the real door. The key to open it is the heart and the final destination is the encounter with yourself, then the world will be yours!
