In times of trouble, look for the lesson...

In this great experiment that we call life, remember that we are all students seeking to grow our souls according to our unique lessons plan.

When things don't go your way, you have many choices:  to have a tantrum, to sulk, to feel victimized by life's events and people in your life, or to take a step back to seek the lessons involved in your situation.  What can you learn from what you're going through?  How can this lesson serve your higher purpose?  How could you apply this lesson elsewhere in your life?  How can you become stronger and better for having lived through, survived and even thrived through that tough time?

Many of these hard lessons have to do with developing the courage to love yourself more, to forgive more, to be more loving toward others, to be more considerate, to be more guided by Spirit and Love rather than ego...  to move closer every time to the ideal of unconditional love.  Sometimes, we do need a "kick in the teeth" to snap us out of old habits, thinking patterns, behaviours and routines that don't serve our highest good.  Many times, we would not be pushed to grow and become more authentic without these hard life experiences, because we are too comfortable in our routine.

When we use harder life experiences as a spark to grow and learn, it changes our whole experience of life.  It becomes more gentle, more calm, more harmonious.   We are more attuned to our intuition.  Wouldn't it be nice to live life this way instead of staying stuck in the heavier energies of anger, resentment and bitterness?

So, what's your choice: sulk or grow?

I'm here to coach you through the process of growth - I'm only a phone call or an email away...  Sending you lots of Love and wishes for you to develop the patience to discover your Inner Wisdom.
