“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” Chicken Little
We may face times when we’re in situations that are so difficult we feel pushed up against our ability to cope. We may struggle to understand what’s going on and what is required for us to solve the problem may be more than we think we can manage or tolerate. Serious, complicated and intensely painful issues are not easy to navigate. Everyone has an idea of what their limits are for things that go wrong. Terrible and unexpected things may happen and we may believe we can never survive. We may suffer greatly but no matter what comes, no matter how horrible and devastating it may be, we will always have everything we need to overcome it. Our personal limits can be stretched and moved out of the way and we can find resolution to anything we must face. We have deeper reserves of strength and resilience than we may recognize and we discover them when everything goes wrong and we are left with nothing but our own resources to find the way through. Turmoil and trouble may be unpleasant but they open the gates to greater understanding and personal growth. While we’re walking through the fire we learn about ourselves and understand more about life. At the end of the trial we will be stronger and wiser and will carry everything we’ve learned forward with us. Trouble comes to us all. Recognizing and accepting that we’ll always find our way will give us greater confidence and calm as we travel through our lives.
Life is filled with change but there are some things we can always count on. The sky will never fall, the sun will come up, and whatever we’re going through today will change. The changes that come aren’t always what we want and there will be times we won’t be able to alter a situation we don’t like. We may have to change direction when we don’t want to, or accept a decision we find disagreeable. When the road we’re on turns we can be flexible enough to bend and find a new way forward. Even during times of disappointment and duress, happiness is possible. We are always in control of our lives and can change anything to find our way.
We always have control over how we manage our lives and what we do. When things go wrong and we’re lost we don’t have to sit down and give up. There will always be options available that allow us to continue moving ahead. Being open to new ideas and different possibilities will help us create a new plan and reach our objectives. We are strong and powerful and nothing is too difficult to manage or too complex to solve. We can be confident in times of trouble and courageous moving forward. Our destinations will always be there waiting and we will find our way to them.
Today if you’re facing an extremely difficult problem and feel pushed against the wall unable to think, trust your instincts and be strong. You have reserves ready within you to get you through. There isn’t anything you can’t conquer. Be courageous and have confidence. All the answers are there and you will find them. Take another step.
