I’ve had some big breakthroughs in my life. But I’ve also had those dark periods where I didn’t see the sun for a long time. In regards to a breakthrough, we often get the mechanics incorrect. We perceive the breakthrough like we perceive the sun “breaking through” the clouds. We think the sun moves, like it rises and sets, comes and goes. But the sun is fixed and always shines.
If you’re waiting for a breakthrough, the breakthrough is waiting on you. You may be waiting for the sun to rise or to penetrate the clouds. But remember, the sun is fixed. The so-called breakthrough is not a turnaround in your circumstance, it’s a turnaround in you. Your circumstance is the sun, your perceptions are the clouds. Change your position and see the sun. Clear the bitterness and resentment and see the sun. Change your viewpoint and see the sun.
There are many people facing west, demanding a sun rise. What a pity, all they have to do to turn around. There are those on a mountaintop, head in the thickest of clouds, and they are waiting for the sun. All they have to do is come down, shift slightly and see the glory of the light. The sun won’t budge, but if you move, pivot, and open the blinds – it will flood you like a warm bath, treasures coming down from the windows of heaven! Your breakthrough is always an inner one, not an outer one. Sometimes it takes a while, but you’ll learn how breakthroughs work. If there is an impasse, and it gets dark, and you begin to think you need a breakthrough, simply turn around and open the blinds. It’s that simple. Remember, the sun won’t budge; but it’s always there for you. To see the light, go within!
