Welcome the experiences presenting themselves to you
Ever consider that the experiences presenting themselves to you are not random or by accident? That you have drawn those experiences to you in order to learn something? Paying attention to the things emerging in your life can help you learn the lessons you need to have the life that you want.
Sometimes these things form patterns or cycles. It could be, for instance, that you are meeting pushy people that keep telling you what to do. It may be that part of you decided it is time to break this pattern. So you keep bumping into pushy people until you get frustrated (and strong) enough to tell them to stop telling them what to do. Once you do this it breaks the entire karmic cycle which allows you to be free of the destructive pattern.
Same could happen with dating unavailable people. We are trying to love people who are not emotionally available until… we become aware of the pattern and find the determination to shift our focus.
We rarely view such frustrating experiences presenting themselves over and over again as an opportunity. But perhaps you intended or prayed for a fulfilling relationship. But you have a karmic pattern of relating to unavailable people. This pattern prevents you from seeing the available people that are all around you. So life, God, or your inner consciousness presents experiences to you to help you to learn lessons and complete your karmic cycle. This allows you to free yourself from the pattern and open yourself to a fulfilling relationship. This happens with all kinds of issues.
So welcome your karmic patterns. Don’t push them away or avoid them. They are presenting themselves to you so can complete them and open yourself up to the things you want in life. They are trying to set you free.

About author:
Michael Hoffman’s passion is guiding people to connect with their natural gifts. He believes that we all have innate gifts that hugely benefit others and the world when we offer them. The purest example of these gifts is the Native American concept of medicine or the gift you offer your people. Michael defines your medicine or gift as the natural effect you have on other people when your heart is open.
Unfortunately, the demands of our current culture to comply and fit in often distract people away from their inherent gifts and the natural expression of their being. Michael believes many of us have forgotten our dreams and what we are about. This sadly results in a loss of purpose, passion, and vitality.
As an innate gift specialist, Michael offers retreats, classes, and individual sessions to allow people to reclaim their natural gifts. These venues allow people to identify, awaken, and offer their gifts. This experiential work incorporates Zen thought, Native American ceremony, rites-of-passage, and releasing limiting belief systems.
Michael also maintains his meta blog to provide knowledge, skills, and awareness for unfolding your natural gifts. He is currently compiling this knowledge and research into a college class and book.
Michael earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1987 and Master of Social Work in 1996. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to his formal education, Michael studied and apprenticed with a Zen Master and spiritual teacher for 22 years to learn how to guide people to understand themselves. He has worked with people professionally since 1986 as a psychotherapist and teacher.
Michael currently resides in Oceanside, California.
