The Soul of the Heart Inner Whispers - Challenges and Blessings

For many folks, this time in history is one of tremendous challenge and change. Many individuals are being forced to make decisions that they thought they would never have to make. The decision to sell a beloved home, the need to relocate in order to find work, adult children moving back home again or downsizing in order to pay off debts.

Whatever one’s challenge may be, what if within that challenge was a blessing in disguise? What if, unde
eath the sacrifices individuals were making, there was freedom for them to follow up on the dreams they held so close to their hearts but had tucked away because of other responsibilities? What if we stopped struggling and resisting with what was happening, and instead allowed ourselves to collapse into the struggle and consent to what was happening? Would that make a difference?

Those who have surrendered and asked for divine guidance have ended up living lives that were far more expansive than they could have ever imagined. Often, we surround ourselves with so much stuff we think we need, that ironically it creates a prison for us, encumbering our movement. The beautiful home we always wanted ended up being far more time consuming than we imagined it would be. Instead of rejoicing in the luxury of having so much, often folks talk about the burden of having so much. Wishing they could close the door on all the added responsibilities and walk away.

It’s interesting to note that many folks, who have lost their jobs, when asked if they were happy with their jobs, often said that they weren’t. Once they were able to settle down enough and know that they would be OK, that’s when they saw the blessing in their challenge.

This is an invitation to you, for whatever it is that you are facing, to perhaps, slow down enough to step away from your reactivity and ask yourself these questions, “Have I always been take care of?” “Am I really happy in the current situation that I am in?” “Is there something more I would like in my life?” Listen to your deep inner knowingness. You may be very surprised with what you hear. Then you can surrender and be guided.
