Shifts and Challenges



Lately I haven't been writing as much as I would like to. It seems like life has once again taken me on a joy ride, through the waves of the unknown. At this moment I am trying to discover just what comes next and I am beginning to acknowledge (though not very easily, I must say) that I must be doing exactly what I am meant to be doing or else it wouldn't be happening.

The past couple weeks have been a period of change and shifting for me. Life is always shifting and I guess that is what it is meant to do. All I can do is move with it. I am finding that things are more challenging, that attempting to walk in the light means doing things differently. Things that I have never done before. Things that used to be easy for me to ignore or push aside are no longer that easy to ignore any more. Things that I would have made excuses for before no longer slide. I guess this is a part of growing and of being true.

Challenges have taken on a new dimension for me. It is more about who I am choosing to be in each moment and how true I am choosing to be in regards to what I believe and who I am. It becomes really difficult to stand by and allow things into my life that I can no longer want.

But I also feel as if the more I choose to open and allow things to be different, the more beautiful opportunities I encounter. But I have to get through the challenges, I have to be true to myself. I have to feel the feelings, feel my heart and let what's in my heart out. This is the only way that I will be okay with these shifts that I am going through.

I found this inspiring e-mail in my inbox today that I receive from kabbalah.com. It reads:

Challenges are opportunities. I'd just like to remind you of this timeless principle for the 2,344,343th time.Believe me, I know seeing negative events as opportunities (rather than punishment) is one of the hardest things a person can do. Just remember, it's second nature to your soul and the more you practice this perspective, the more it will become second nature to your rational consciousness.Today, watch your experience change as your attitude changes towards things that would normally bother you.

(exhale).....Just what I needed to hear!

Today I learned to try to see challenges as opportunities, even though it can at times be sooo difficult to do so!

Love and light,

S
