What Is Your Relationship to Life Itself?

When was the last time you sat down with a steaming cup of tea and truly contemplated life? If you're here, chances are you've spent some time pondering this question. But in our fast-paced society, it's a question rarely asked—despite being the most foundational one.

So, what is your relationship to life itself? How do you perceive your existence? Do you feel life is for you, against you, or somewhere in between? Is life loving, neutral, or indifferent? These are not just abstract questions; they shape every aspect of your life.

For many on a spiritual journey, these questions emerge during times of transformation. The early stages of awakening can feel like a rollercoaster—one moment filled with joy and profound clarity, the next, overwhelmed with uncertainty. The more you explore this relationship, the more clarity you gain about how life interacts with you. If you believe life is against you, that belief will manifest in your experiences. If you believe life supports you, you'll start to see evidence of that as well.

Asking yourself these questions isn’t about reaching a definitive answer in one sitting. This exploration is a process—one that unfolds over time, revealing layers of understanding. Spend a week with these questions, observe how they show up in your life, and allow yourself to feel into the answers. Transformation isn’t about forcing change; it’s about uncovering truths that already exist within you.

Here are some guiding questions to explore:

• What is your relationship to life itself?

• Does life support you or challenge you?

• Is there a higher intelligence guiding your journey?

• What is the role of a human on this planet?

The more deeply you engage with these questions, the more profound your journey becomes. Redefining your relationship with life changes everything—it shifts how life responds to you, paving the way for transformation.

Embrace the process, be gentle with yourself, and remember: the journey inward is one of the most beautiful and enriching paths you can take.
