When we’re facing a big disappointment or difficult development in our lives, our first instinct might be to ignore it, hide from it, or try not to think about it. It’s hard to look head on at something that hurts us and it may seem stepping back to avoid it is a good option. We may think if we give ourselves some time to adjust it’ll be easier to go back to it later. Devastating issues and terrible problems may come to us as we navigate our lives. There might be times we feel the situation is too painful and extreme to face, and run in the other direction trying to avoid it. We can ignore anything that happens but the issue will remain in place until we look at it fully and do what is needed to get through it. No matter what has happened or how bad things seem, we are strong enough to manage it and find our way forward. Instead of trying to hide, it’s best to stand strong and let everything roll over us, completely exposing every single detail. A huge, intense wave in the ocean is strong and powerful but all the power is expended when it hits the shore. Our most serious difficulties may hurt when we look at them openly and let them in, but once they are completely uncovered their power over us will diminish and we can begin to find our way through them. There isn’t anything too strong or complicated for us to navigate. We have all the wisdom and courage we need to handle anything we must. We can be confident even when we’re unsure and step forward knowing we will prevail.
We all have ideas about what we can manage in our lives. There are possible developments we may think we could never face, and sincerely hope they will never come. But life is unpredictable and sometimes the very thing we don’t think we can manage actually happens. If it does, we may be stunned in place and think we cannot survive it. No matter what we think, or how horrible the situation seems, we can overcome it. We are strong enough to face hard times and very difficult problems, and successfully find our way through. Step by step we can move forward and manage anything.
Sometimes we must face many difficult trials at the same time. When they come one after the other we may tire and feel overwhelmed. It’s harder to continue forward when there are many struggles pulling on us and it may seem we’ll never get to the end of the trouble. Nothing lasts forever and no problem can continue indefinitely. If we keep our eyes focused on the road ahead, we can solve every issue one step at a time. We are capable of managing anything in life, and even if we feel lost, will find our way through. The whole world is available to us and we can overcome anything and find success.
Today if trouble is looming ahead and you aren’t sure you can manage it, stand strong and face everything head on. You are wise and intelligent, and certainly capable of handling anything you must. There is no problem too difficult or devastating for you to untangle. Be confident. Every issue has a solution and the answers are there for you. Keep walking and you will find the way forward.
