I was recently reading about the Trickster archetype, and it felt really relevant to my life right now. I have been going through some major personal crises, but they are things others would deal with better. I need to find the humor in my situations instead of treating everything as life-or-death. I have to see these arduous circumstances as ones that can lead me down a new path of growth, a wealth of potentially good surprises. I have to just relax and let life take it's course, because the more I resist, the more anxious and depressed I get. We can't control everything -- especially the choices of other people. Sometimes what seems negative at first turns out to have positive consequences. I need to get out of this rut of thought and feeling and open myself up more to the world. It might be dangerous at times, but there is much that can be gained, as well. I can't plan out the future bit by bit; things never turn out how you expect them to.
