Thank God for confusion!

We usually don't like confusion, but why? When we are confused, usually we are challenged--our ability to clarify things is challenged. This means that the confusion provides us one of the greatest chances to access to the most valuable in our life.

I don't know what is correct; what is right; who to trust; etc. --then I realize that my life has been based on so many assumptions, and I really didn't use so much of my own ability to discern things. (in a way, I have been giving that part to other people, or, I did not really take responsibility/ownership over my own thinking, or my own decision, etc.) In other words, I didn't give a chance to my own ability to take full control over my life. Or, I always had someone to take care of my life, or I always had someone to blame. Of course nothing is wrong because it is a very natural process as we grow step by step starting from being a baby.

But the day must come when we start living our own life. You could say, of course, you are not living centered on yourself, but you are living only relying on "the Divine" through your conscience, and not someone else. Therefore, confusion is the most important chance for us to make one step toward that direction.

What if you don't have any confusion? Then you may keep living your life assuming everything is OK. But in fact it's not unless you are "perfect".

Anyway, my point is that we need to always find a positive aspect of anything. I believe that's how "God" would want to look at things. And when we find that perspective, we always can thank God for that.
