In a
transformed
life, there are no solutions - only questions. Yet one of the solutions
I am most often asked for is the solution to being upset.
You are sailing along, happily, in your
transformed
yacht on a
transformed
ocean under a cloudless, blue,
transformed
sky with nothing but
transformed
intentions, when suddenly ... Wham! ... there it is: the disruption and
the dislocation of an upset making it's unwanted, ugly presence known
suddenly, surprisingly, unexpectedly, automatically, and rudely against
your will.
What's useful to consider ie to try on for size is this:
Behind every upset is a
commitment.
Literally. If you're not already
committed
to something, you can't be upset. Or - to put it another way - you
aren't upset unless it's against a background of
commitment.
No, I don't mean you're
committed
to being upset. What I mean is if you look, you'll see without a
commitment
to something great being thwarted, upsets wouldn't show up like upsets.
I'm suggesting you question everything going on with you when you're
upset, to reveal and get back in touch with what you're really
committed
to. Not only will that give you your vision and power back: it will
also create a new opening for action to get you back on track.
Werner
Erhard
distinguishes three components of an upset:
a thwarted intention;
an unfulfilled expectation;
an undelivered communication.
You don't have to do anything, nor do you have to be any particular
way to be OK.
You're already
OK.
If you look at an upset in the light of
you're already OK,
you'll be able to tell the truth about the upset. You'll be able to
distinguish its three components.
If you take appropriate actions to complete them, you'll get your life
back. You'll be enabled to move on to the
breakthrough
which awaits.
