Successful Disaster

So we muddle through our choices, in hindsight seeing how disastrous they were, in hindsight seeing how miraculously they turned out, fortunately in ways we never could have foreseen.
Worldly disasters entangled with spiritual miracles….that's about the best you can hope for in following the Spirit and Purpose. Crucifixions and resurrections is another way to put it.
Fortunately in our youth we don't see that. It is necessary to have visions of worldly success. But as failures and disasters compile we begin to notice the little details we never anticipated, a life affected, a life touched, a life saved. Our career and relationship disasters slowly are revealed as lessons and opportunities, and our grandiose plans begin to wane in submission to The Grandiose Plan.
There is relief as well as resignation in this experience. This learning process is not about giving up hope, but giving up your life to the Greater that was guiding it all along.
Worldly success is not all it's cracked up to be. Fortunately it will elude the grasp of most of us.
