Escape the Maze Trapping You From Life Success
Life Success is obviously important. And you wouldn't read to
the end of this short story unless you were serious about your
own life success.
Perhaps you have worked out by now that rushing around the maze
of life can send you in so many directions that until you stop,
consider, and think for yourself a new plan, a new direction,
answers will then come simply and easily for life success.
Perhaps to get out of the maze trap is as simple as climbing
over a wall.
Now, some people are too busy rushing around looking for 'the
answers' to life success from others that they never even stop
long enough to look up at the wall.
Others look up and see the wall but decide against climbing it,
perhaps out of being 'politically correct', or 'respectful' to
the designers of the trap, or perhaps because of the short burst
of intense effort necessary to scale the wall of life success,
or perhaps because they don't want to get their clothes in a
mess.
So they look back down, sigh, resign to the quiet desperation of
'looking for the exit', and start running again, faster, and
faster, thinking that speed or struggle will help them succeed.
They bump into others, asking the others for the answer, but
never stopping to consider within themselves for long enough,
never taking the time or giving them self the self-trust or
space to put the puzzle of success together.
Life Success... where is it? What is it? Where does it come from?
Constriction, exhaustion, almost a strangulation, diminishing
their energy - they begin to walk, they recover their breath,
feel more at ease and control in this moment, strolling along,
sometimes even with a smile, watching the others running around
who are looking for the exit out of this trap.
Some accept that there is no escape, no exit, and they become
cynical and negative of the people who are still running, they
say 'slow down or you might fall and get hurt, there is no rush,
we all end up the same way anyway, nothing is important except
enjoying the moment, why be concerned, why try, just stick to
what you know".
Some then resign so much that they sit down on the comfortable
bench. They somehow fool themselves into thinking they are on
top of things, but their gaze is hazy, only straight ahead, they
have lost their way not just outside in the maze, but inside in
their mind and spirit as well.
Ice-cream vendors are at hand, manned by bright smiles, covering
sinister clown masks, that morph into creatures of evil at
certain angles of light, but you can never be quiet sure, until..
You arrive into this opening with the bench and you suddenly
stop, aware of a strange new feeling that washes over you making
you at once aware of Two Worlds. It was a flash of color and a
distant sound that caught your attention, look out for it. As
you catch your breath back somehow things are different, in you,
you are different. You sit down besides this other person, and
you can feel the person begin to frown as you turn to the person
very slowly and frown in the same way too, as they also turn in
the same way to you.
You catch eye to eye and a rippling shiver begins an
uncontrollable journey up your spine from the base of your back
towards your head and washes over your slightly contorted face
muscles.
In the next moment, that other person is no longer of
consideration and you understand the pattern of the maze. You
look upwards, skywards, and your mind is thinking differently
now.
You see the wall that you would have used to run along, but now
you look above it. You stand. You draw in a deep breath. You
feel a renewed vigor, passion, and self-assurance.
You are going to figure out how to get over that wall, that
hurdle, and you are going to begin now.
Life Success.
"I can".
