Often times in struggles people ask "Why me?" and in times of success the question never arises. There is a sense of expectation that your success is deserved but your failure is not.
All too real are the triumphs as are the failures. We are made up of a collection of karmic ties; that if we are able to realize our primordial being and connect to our divine path; then we can work through our lives with the awareness of situations in our lives where karma has to play out.
Karma ripens. There are cases that we all know of that someone made have been a good person all their life and then their life is taken in a short span of time due to some bodily ailment or violence. This is a case of karma ripening, past lives of karmic action ripening and expressing itself on this plain.
If we are able to live on our divine path than the awareness of karmic events will make life a more symbolic journey and the "Why me's" of life will not arise...a simple gesture to the heavens and clear intentions to make it better or learn from the obstacle and express your love for life through the struggle. With right intentions and grace the universe embraces and we flow through karma to the always present light within.
