Throughout our lives, we are going to be thrown unexpected curve balls from time to time. Whether you allow them to hit you square in the face or step out of the way is what is most important. Do not allow it to be anything more than what it is. It is a curve ball, plain and simple.
Too often, we allow “things” to take us down. We allow other people to make us feel small and insignificant. We allow life to walk all over us. Trust me, I know how hard it is not to crumble and fall to your knees when things do not go the way we think they should. However, I truly believe we always get what we are asking for. Just because what is happening right now is not what we want, it is what we want. Wherever you are in life, in this moment, is exactly where you are supposed to be. There is nothing going on that is “wrong” or unwanted. When we are able to get out of our own way, we will be able to see more clearly the path of our chosen desires and dreams. We will be able to feel the motion of life all around us. There will always be the opposite of that which we desire before our desire is manifested.
Every moment in life is a new opportunity to express and experience all that you are. To be who you really are under any and every situation, good or bad. The power lies in being able to be grateful and to say “thank you” whenever you are confronted with any undesired outcome. Be in the moment and know without a shadow of any doubt, that whatever the issue at hand, it is a gift, and there is a treasure being held for you. Trust in life and allow it to reveal these treasures to you.
