Why
Are Setbacks Essential To Creating Positive Change?
This
article explores not just the value of setbacks, but how
and why the duty they perform are so essential
in creating any positive change at all.
In
a book called "The
J Curve", author Ian Bremmer
explains how countries making the transition to a democracy
will usually experience a period of tumultuous instability
prior to achieving the stable state they desire. This is
a common phenomenon reflected in pretty much every other
area
of life as well.
In
more familiar terms, you may have heard before that to discover
new lands you must first lose sight
of the shore.
Well, this
losing sight of the shore - all that is familiar, comfortable,
and known to you - almost invariably leads to temporary
feelings of doubt, worry, discomfort, and confusion, among
a slew
of other emotions we usually find unpleasant and identify
as "negative".
I
like to tell people that confusion is actually a
positive state, and wonderfully so, because
in it, we are not pretending
that we "know". Likewise are there positive
attributes of the rest of those states we're so prone
to viewing as
negative. Sorrow from a loss, for example, is an outpouring
of emotion
that makes way for new things to come in.
A
sense of openness is a requirement for any desired change
to occur.
But for many of us, that state of openness
produces
a sense of vulnerability within us. And what do people
tend to do when they feel vulnerable? Close up. But
it's not the
sense of openness that caused them to close up. It's
their interpretation of the feelings that openness
produced in
them, judgments of what it means to be open and evaluations
of how
that feels. Openness is merely openness. All that other
stuff is resistance. And resistance is the original
cause of all
of our setbacks.
We
can't always stop resistance from happening, but with an
awareness of this phenomenon, we can
start
to view
our setbacks
with new eyes. We can start to see setbacks as opportunities
to identify and clear resistance.
So
often we pine, "What
can I do to…" (succeed, get
what I want, make the Law of Attraction work for
me). And however we end that question, the answer
is the same. By looking to
our setbacks, for they will show us exactly where
and how we are putting up resistance getting those
desires met. If you
want to take a more active role in the fulfillment
of your desires, then, simply look at your setbacks.
Look
for the resistance within you that produced them. Or, put
another way, look at the resistance
that setback
represents,
then own it as something you are putting out
there.
Setbacks
are guideposts, clearly indicating the areas in our lives
where we can produce definite
and deliberate
changes by releasing our resistance to what
is, thereby helping facilitate
what will be. Our setbacks show us exactly
where our power
lies to change our lives for the better.
