Scope.

The other night there was a spider in the bedroom. It was a small black spider, perched up in the top corner of our room near a disused vent that it was using as a dark refuge.

My fiancé, as she usually does in this situation, asked me to kill it. I, as I usually do, said no ill take it outside.

It isnt the first time we've had a spider in our room. The wall space must be damp, dark and attract bugs. So even though I might remove this one, I know there will be another one to take its place.

It seems that in this case there is meant to be a spider there, like it's the environment makes the spider. And the spider is there to service the environment.


So its the same for us. We have space to live, an accommodating habitat, and food to eat. Otherwise we wouldn't be here. If there is scope for us to live, then we are meant to be.

This does seem to be quite theoretical and airy fairy, but it all this comes back to beliefs. It has the power to change you. Understanding our place in the world can adjust our motivation and actions in the future, for a long time. 

We are here and not by 'our' choosing. We are here because there was a need for us to be here, to do what we do. And we are supposed to be doing what we are doing.

The spider is here for a reason, so are you. And you are doing it right now.

Hope this helps,
