Not everybody has it, and for those who do, its size varies so much that we often wonder if it’s real. If you believe in carrying everything that has happened in your life or think you’ll be happy when you achieve your goals, you’re not alone in missing out on this holy basket. Our governing systems, social customs, traditions, personal relationships, and religions all teach us that we are responsible for making things happen; otherwise, they wouldn’t punish us for our bad actions. Religions often invoke God’s name, but in reality, they are the worst at punishing people for their sins.
When you learn that you are one hundred percent responsible for your actions, there is no room for accidents, belief systems, or your life story dictated by God. If this notion doesn’t make sense to you, give yourself a break by believing that we are not yet a finished product. We are evolving entities trying to reach our potential. If and when we get there, then and only then will we be able to see everything clearly. Until then, our religions, isms, and other governing systems should be our stepping stones. We should not hold passionate extremes in any human knowledge because it is not complete. Even our scientifically proven facts can change as we evolve. An evolving system or entity cannot have everything one hundred percent right for everyone, so if you are seeking a perfect medicine, governing system, spiritual system, or even a flawless partner, you will either die in the process or at least be alone or unhappy. You may have been taught, or even believe, that everything in life is done by you alone. However, you cannot do anything without the oxygen you breathe, so you do have help. If you believe everything wrong in your life is your or someone else’s fault, it means there is no room for the bigger picture in your life. That lack of belief means you don’t have the basket I am talking about.
Taking responsibility for your actions is one thing, but carrying all the burdens of the world on your shoulders or working all your life against the universe is another. The lines of limitations and mortality are often forgotten or at least blurred by occupied and focused individuals. The wisdom of a CEO is required to have a successful life as a whole. Any kind of knowledge and understanding that can help ease the difficulties of our mortal journey should be viewed as an asset. The holy basket has nothing to do with the religion you belong to; it has everything to do with your personal spirituality and how deeply you believe in God, or rather, the bigger picture. The power of your thoughts and attitude can help you visualize and materialize the holy basket to benefit and enrich this temporary journey. Believe even in the placebo effects of a belief system, just strain out the politics, and you will be happier regardless of religion. When you don’t understand something or if you don’t have control, just put it in the basket as “I don’t know” and carry on living. Remember, it’s like waiting for your train on the platform. If your train isn’t showing up, whatever you do while you wait is your life, so make the best of it. Don’t stop living just because the train is late.
