Limits

28 Jun

When we’re trying to accomplish something, and are exercising patience as complications arise one after the other, at some point, frustration may take hold and if the process has been long and convoluted, we may feel we’ve had enough. Everything has a limit and if we’ve reached ours, we may throw our hands up, and just let everything go. We can change our minds about anything at any time, and if we’ve had enough, we might decide it’s time to surrender to defeat and move on. It isn’t easy to keep pushing forward when each step takes a long time and there are lots of issues and problems to manage. It’s hard not to feel frustrated when advancement is slow and change isn’t happening no matter how hard we try. We can always give up and admit defeat, or push the problem off onto someone else, but there is great satisfaction and growth that comes from holding the line and continuing forward. Most issues will eventually work themselves out and we can find success. Of course, there may be times when nothing works and we need to regroup and decide if continuing to press ahead is worth our time. Often success is all about timing. Just because we aren’t able to reach the goal now, doesn’t mean it’s unattainable. Life is constantly changing and in the future our situation may allow us to move forward and get to the destination. There is no need to let frustration or anxiety take control. If we’re not progressing the way we want to, we can look at the situation objectively, weigh our options and determine how we want to proceed. Every goal is possible but they aren’t all possible today. We have all the wisdom and insight we need to adjust our course when needed and find success. Nothing is out of reach and we are perfectly capable of prevailing.

It’s impossible to see every aspect of the road ahead when we begin a journey. There will likely be some twist we didn’t imagine or some turn we couldn’t foresee. It’s the nature of life and if we’re caught unaware and confused, we may feel stuck and unable to move. It may seem the goal is out of reach and too difficult to achieve. But every journey is merely a series of steps. We can take them one at a time and process any developments that occur. We have everything we need to reach any goal we desire. Every answer is there for us and we will find them.

If we’ve been on the same road pushing forward for a while, and we’re tired and overwhelmed at how much has been required to push ahead, we may feel it’s too hard to keep going. If we no longer want the goal, we can certainly step off the path and do something else. But if the destination is still important to us, we can take a break, and when we feel renewed, return and continue on. We’re powerful, and capable of finding our way forward. Nothing is too difficult or complex for us to figure out, and with time and patience, we will succeed.

Today if you’ve been pushing ahead through complications and problems, and are beginning to tire of the journey, think about what you want the most. If your desires have changed, redirect your course. If you still want to reach the goal, take a break until you feel refreshed, and start again. You can do anything. Success is just ahead.

Taking Time

27 Jun

When we’ve been through a seriously painful event, we may suffer greatly. The death of a loved one, a terrible and difficult break-up of a relationship, or a personal and deep betrayal from someone we trusted, may bring us intense sorrow and serious anguish. It takes time to process painful and difficult changes and find a way to manage them. Pain and grief have their own timetables, and how long it takes us to adjust to our new reality is different for every person and every situation. It’s impossible to predict how long it will take until we feel settled again. Nobody wants to suffer for a long time but there are no rules for coping with grief and sadness. We must take things as they come and do our best to continue forward each day. We can always control what we do but we can’t always control how we feel. Recovery will take the time it takes, but no matter how hurt we are or how desperate things may seem, healing will come. Change is constant and nothing can stay the same forever, not even suffering. If we’ve been struggling for a long time, we may feel we should be further down the road, but we are changing a little every day and in time, no matter how long that takes, we can overcome anything. Life is filled with unexpected developments and if we’ve been surprised by a painful and disappointing experience, we can trust that no matter how difficult it is today, we will find our way through. We’re stronger than we think we are and nothing is powerful enough to overcome us. Every blessing is still there for us and we will find peace and happiness again.

Heartbreak comes in many forms. When we’ve been heartbroken, no matter what the circumstances are, we can find our way through in our own way and in our own time. There is no need to rush and we can take all the time necessary until we feel whole again. Nobody knows our deepest sorrows better than we do, and we can move forward one step at a time. Being patient and allowing time to find our footing again will enable us to heal and proceed again with confidence. Life is filled with all kinds of experiences, and no matter what we’re facing, we have everything we need to prevail.

Some people may try to push us forward in an effort to alleviate our suffering. They may make all kinds of suggestions or give us advice about how to let go and move forward. We can listen to whatever they offer, but we know what we need and can trust ourselves to find our next steps. Pain gives us patience, and we learn how resilient and strong we are as we navigate through it and continue forward. We are powerful and capable, and nothing can hold us down forever. We already have everything we need to prevail and find all the answers.

Today if you’ve been through a serious and painful event, and feel lost and frozen in place, give yourself time to think and rest. There’s no rush to get through. Stand still until you feel ready to move forward again. You are strong and wise, and nothing will overcome you. Trust yourself and take another step forward. Every dream is still there, every blessing is possible, and you will prevail.

Coming Back

26 Jun

Every day brings opportunities for us move forward toward the goals and destinations we desire. There are endless decisions we can make and unlimited places to go. With every opportunity there is the chance for success, but there are often challenges attached to each choice. There may be many distractions and sometimes if our focus wavers, we may wander away from the road that will take us to our goal. The world is a huge place and there’s a lot going on all around us much of the time. It’s easy to get waylaid by interruptions or attractions, and if we aren’t paying attention, may find ourselves going in the wrong direction away from what we want to accomplish. Additionally, there are lots of people coming in and out of our lives and they may ask for our time or attention. They might have ideas about how we should be spending our time and encourage us to follow them instead of moving forward with our own plans. We can do anything we want to do but every accomplishment requires determination and attention, and if we want to succeed, need to keep our eyes trained on the road ahead. We can design our lives any way we want and if we’ve strayed from the path, we can regroup and start again. There are endless places to go and lots to see, and if we aren’t careful, we may spend all our time watching everything around us and go nowhere. Every goal is possible and if we’ve wandered away from it, we can come back. The destination will still be waiting for us and we can move ahead confident of success. We can do anything and go anywhere. By keeping our eyes on the goal, we will win.

It’s easier to accomplish something if there are no distractions and we can stay with it until we’re finished. But life is complicated and we can’t predict what will happen that may divert us or get in the way. There may be times when because of circumstance we must move away from a goal until our situation changes. Stepping away doesn’t mean giving up and we can come back to our plans when the time is right. We never have to sacrifice anything we truly desire. We can return and continue to move forward with determination and focus, and reach every goal.

There may be times when we get caught up in others around us and what they’re doing. We may spend our time watching them or helping them achieve their goals. It can be fun to work with others and it’s good to be helpful, but we are responsible for our own lives. If we spend all our time doing things with others and neglect what we want to accomplish, we will never reach our goals. We deserve to feel fulfilled and happy, and making our personal dreams a reality will bring us great satisfaction and joy.

Today if you’ve wandered away from the road to your chosen destination, stop and think about what you want to accomplish most. Direct your course toward the goals you desire and make them yours. You are amazing and powerful, and nothing is out of reach. Be confident and be wise. Every dream is possible and you can make them all yours.

In or Out

24 Jun

We can accomplish anything as we go through our lives. As we review all the options possible and consider what we want to do, all kinds of ideas and thoughts may pop into our heads. We may feel excitement at the prospects before us or we may be intimidated by what we need to do to get to a desired goal. We are highly capable and can manage even complex and difficult tasks to move forward, but looking at them from the beginning may be daunting. Few things will come to us simply because we desire them. We will have to plan and work, and push ahead step by step until we reach success. But we won’t go anywhere if we don’t believe we can get there. We must be determined and convinced we can make it or we may end up standing still and going nowhere. It’s impossible to believe we can do something and at the same time doubt we can succeed. We have to decide which way it will go. Either we’re in or we’re out. If we want the goal, we can do what’s needed to get it. If we aren’t sure, we can take the time necessary to decide exactly what we want to do. Our lives are a reflection of every choice we make, and we can have the lives we dream about but they won’t just appear out of nowhere. It’s up to us to decide what we want and start forward toward our dreams. Every goal is possible and we have all we need to gain them. Nothing is beyond our reach and we can do anything we desire. The whole world is there for us. Every dream, every destination and every possibility await. We’re only steps away from success. We can decide what we want and then begin forward.

Mediocrity is the easiest thing in the world to accomplish. We can merely go with the flow and follow everyone else’s lead, never making a decision about what we want or choosing anything for ourselves. Coasting is fine if we want to go where the tide is taking us, but if we want our own unique, perfectly fitted life, we’ll have to step out onto our own roads and head toward our own destinations. If we only follow along, we will never have the lives we dream about. Nobody else’s decisions can ever fill our own personal desires. We deserve complete happiness and by choosing our own destinations and reaching them, we’ll have it.

Some dreams are easy to reach but others take a lot of time and energy, and if we want them, we must be willing to hold onto them even when the way forward is hard to find. Everything worth having is worth fighting for and when the road gets hard or takes longer than we planned, we can continue forward sure of success. Our lives are always in our control and we can design them any way we choose. We can find our way to every destination, and reach every goal.

Today if you’re not sure you can succeed and are beginning to doubt you have what it takes to prevail, remember everything you’ve already accomplished. You are stronger than you think you are and nothing is too far to reach. Be confident and stand strong. Everything is possible and you have everything you need to win.

Loosening the Grip

21 Jun

Life is filled with options and every day we make dozens of decisions. Some of them are inconsequential and it doesn’t matter what we choose, but others may have far-reaching impact on our lives. Getting into debt, continuing a dysfunctional relationship, committing to more than we can accomplish, and other choices, may bring great stress and difficulty. It’s easy not to pay attention and make spur of the moment decisions, but every choice we make will take us somewhere and if the destination isn’t someplace we want to go, we may experience tribulation and discomfort. We’re always in control of our lives and can do anything we like. We can be aware of every choice and try to make excellent decisions, or we can fly by the seat of our pants and let the chips fall where they may. It’s all up to us. If we choose poorly and complicate our lives, we can try to blame others and their influence, our inability to see clearly, our inexperience, or anything else. But in the end, we own every choice we make. Thankfully, nothing in life is permanent and we can always modify our situation and the road ahead. It’s always possible to loosen the grip of any difficult situation and start again. There will always be an alternative available to us. It may take time to correct our position, and it may take work, but we have everything we need to do anything we desire. Every possibility is there for us and we can choose wisely and accomplish any task we choose. We deserve fulfilling and happy lives. We can make good, strong decisions, correct our course when needed, and step forward with confidence and clarity.

There are many influences from others that press on us every day. There are endless opinions about how we should live our lives, and if we aren’t sure about which way to turn, we may do as they suggest in an effort to find our way. We know ourselves better than anyone else and can make excellent decisions about what’s best for us. We have all the wisdom and intelligence we need to make good choices moving forward, and can find our way to any goal we desire.

Sometimes there may be pressure to follow along with those around us. It’s fun to join in with the group when they’re doing things we want to pursue, but if we have other ideas about where we want to go, we can forge our own personal path forward. Even if everyone is going one way, we can choose another. Our lives belong solely to us and we can do anything we want or go anywhere we want to go. The road ahead is determined by our decisions, and when we’re true to ourselves, all our dreams can come true.

Today if you’re in a bind because of decisions you’ve made, decide how you want to proceed. You have everything you need to get the life you want. Every challenge can be overcome and there are solutions and answers to every issue. Be confident and make a plan to move forward. Every dream is possible, and you can make them all yours.
