How to tell if you're evolving

Here’s a question for you. 

What emotion haven’t you experienced?

Here’s one of the funny things about life. You’ve experienced many of the same feelings. And you may react differently over time. 

The evolution of your soul then, is to see if you’ve grown when reacting to all these many emotions from your experiences. So the experiences will change, but there are only so many emotions. 

Looking at it this way, enables you to grasp what I mean when I say everything is exactly playing out as it should. It’s meant for you to grow. The best part is when you can receive an experience and not let ‘it’ take you too high or too low. It can be impersonal.

You cannot prevent anything from happening, but you can evolve in your response to what occurs. 

So no matter what situation you find yourself in - be mindful. It’s the mind that remembers how you felt about a particular experience. 

You have loved. And you will love again. You have cried and laughed. Mourned and celebrated. You’ve felt embarrassed. And you will again. You’ve felt anger and joy. You have lost, you have gained. You’ve been confused and gained clarity. 

Things just keep happening over and over again. Catch yourself next time saying ‘that’s just the way I am’ and ask yourself, ‘have I evolved from who I used to be?’

Evolving is a type of change, but it’s becoming more of who you really are - not changing to affect an outcome (which could be called manipulation).

This is what’s called the spiral of life. This too shall pass, and it’ll be back! 

So, have you evolved? Are you moving forward? If you don’t feel you’ve got a purpose to your life, let this be it. That’s all we’re here to do. Feel, accept, learn, grow.
