Why Is This Happening to Me? Surviving A Tower Moment

:

There was a moment in my life where I didn’t question what was possible for myself and my life. I wanted something, did what was necessary to get it. I didn’t worry about how or when it was going to happen. I just knew that it was. It seemed like anything was within my reach, if I just reached out and grabbed it. But that’s not where I am now.

Now, it seems like I am living in a state of impossibility. I want something, I do what is necessary to get what I want, but now I’m trying to control when and how it’s going to happen. I have lost patience and find myself spiraling down a rabbit hole of fear, worry, and negativity. I ask myself, how did I get here? When did I start believing in impossibility instead of possibility?

Looking back, I realize it started the moment my life began to fall apart all at once. It was my “Tower” moment. I was at a high and now I was at a low, and I couldn’t believe all of this was happening to me. My brother was tragically murdered, I was let go from my job, and I was having problems in my marriage. This series of unfortunate events sent me down a dark path of depression.

This moment in my life left me wounded, insecure, and feeling like I had no control over my life. Despite making significant changes in my life to heal, I am still allowing the scars to control my life. I am still living in the shadow of my “Tower” moment.

So now, where do I go from here? I believe it’s about taking control of my life and not allowing the wounds of my past to control who I am to become. The second thing I must do is understand that I can’t do anything alone. I control what I can, but I must also allow the Universe and my spirit guides to do their perfect work. I realize living in possibility means believing in something far greater than myself. It is beyond what my human mind can comprehend. It is a knowing that everything is going to work out in divine time.

I have come to understand that there might be “Tower” moments that happen while living in a space between wanting something and receiving it. I’ve learning not to be consumed emotionally by these moments because they will take me down a dark path, prolonging what I really want. Instead, I’m utilizing my spiritual tools like prayer and meditation to keep me on an auspicious path.

This is the space I want to live and thrive. Though I understand it won’t be easy, I am determined to find my way. I am committed to rediscovering faith in the realm of possibilities.

Chasing Success

The Struggle

For some time now, I’ve been struggling with a feeling of agitation and complacency. It’s as if I’m in a constant battle, trying to find the joy in my life, but it seems to be playing a terrific game of hide and seek. The common advice I hear is to find a new hobby, something to fill the void. But deep down, I know that a new hobby is not the solution. It may serve as a distraction, but it won’t fix the root of the problem.

The Chase

This emotional turmoil, I believe, stems from my pursuit of success. It feels like I’m in a never-ending race, chasing success, but it never slows down enough for me to catch up. I’m tired. Tired of running, tired of the chase, tired of feeling like I’m always one step behind. And so, I’ve stopped running. I’ve slowed down to a walk, questioning the point of this relentless pursuit. Why run if I’m never going to catch up?

The Realization

But then, in these moments of doubt, I try to remind myself of a simple truth. The race for success is not a sprint, but a marathon. It requires patience and consistent effort. The world we live in today thrives on instant gratification, which often leads us to expect immediate results. But the reality is that success is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, effort, and a whole lot of patience.

The Way Forward

So, despite the frustration, despite the exhaustion, I will continue on my path. I will keep working, keep praying, and keep grinding. There’s a saying that good things come to those who wait, and I believe that my day will come. But until then, I will keep moving forward, one step at a time, in my pursuit of success.
