What do you want to see when you look at someone else’s life? Are you thinking that it is better than your life; happier, wealthier, more privileged, luckier? When one is looking inside it is only possible to see what is presented. It is a guess, an assumption with lots of imagination that is highly likely not to be right.
One thing to know as we travel through our life’s journey is that each individual has his/her own tests and lessons. It is up to each and every one of us to learn the best way with the best attitude possible. As the spiritualists say, we are all here on Earth to balance our Karma. What comes around goes around; we must make right in the next life. I do not believe that anyone gets a perfect ideal life. Some people may have wealth so their life looks fantastic and exciting and comfortable. But are they happy and are they loved enough?
However, I do believe that we all come with a purpose, whether it is to learn wisdom or patience or love or balance or discernment or tolerance. Maybe there is more than one purpose. The trick is that even if we did plan our life on the other side before incarnating, there is no memory of this once we are born. Or maybe we are just born and we have to do the best we can in living a good kind wholesome life.
To have an abundance of money wealth is a wish for so many. Looking on the outside of beautiful luxury homes is a fun pastime for some. There are line-ups at newsagents to buy a gold lotto ticket when the prize is a several million dollars. Why not? Got to be in it to win it. Winning a bucket full of money means so much; to ease financial pressure, make life comfortable, pay the bills, travel and so on. The list varies according to the individual and circumstances.
On the other hand spiritualists say that when a person has made loads of money like millions of dollars can be a major handicap to spiritual evolvement. Letting go, giving, charity, kindness can be challenging. No-one gets away from the life's tests and lessons. Everyone is striving for the balance of happiness and abundance. Don't spend too much time wishing on the outside. You may already have it on the inside.
Cheers
Have a happy day.
I always find it easy to embrace the idea that all lives have their difficulties, but find it much harder to accept during one :) I guess that is where growth comes from - the struggle to accept and move forward.
Yeah, I guess you're right bout this.
Hope you enjoyed the post.

People don't have troubles in Texas? Those cowboy hats must have some magical properties.

Accepting and moving forward are very powerful to do ginnyannette. Not easy for sure. We can only keep working at it.
