We share the planet with billions of other people. They are all around us, coming and going, connecting or just passing by. We love some of them, tolerate others and try to ignore the ones that make our lives difficult and complicated. Some connections are easy and flow with little stress or anxiety, but others can be complex, fraught with intensity and hard to manage. We may feel uncomfortable if we must deal with someone who is temperamental or bossy, or an old lover who broke our heart comes around, and we might do everything we can to avoid their attention. We may try to blend into the background, keep our head down and look away, anything to prevent them from approaching us. If that works, we may breathe a sigh of relief that we have averted any connection with them. Nobody wants to deal with difficult people or situations, but there is no way to hide forever. The very person we definitely don’t want to run into may show up unexpectedly, catch us off guard, and we may suddenly find ourselves face to face with them. At that moment, it will be up to us how we handle what happens next. We can shrink and try to disappear, which will never work, or we can stand firm and trust ourselves to find the best way through. We already have every bit of courage and wisdom we need to navigate any difficult situation. There isn’t anything we can’t manage and manage well. We are stronger and more powerful than we imagine. Nothing is too hard for us to get through, and with patience and grace, we will find our way.
Every experience we have teaches us something. When our experiences are good, we gain greater confidence and helpful knowledge that embellishes us and helps pave the road ahead. But hard times come to all of us, and when we go through something painful and destructive, it may leave a lasting mark on us. We may lose our trust in others, doubt ourselves, or be afraid of what will happen next. There is no way to change the past, but there will always be a way to move forward. We don’t have to hold onto what hurts us forever. We can look at everything objectively and find ways to let go and move ahead. Every destination is still there for us and every success is still possible.
Problems rarely solve themselves, and if we’ve left something unresolved because it was just too painful to look at it, it will remain. Time cannot fix what’s been left unattended. Trouble becomes heavier as it waits, reminders will arise, and eventually we’ll have to face the inevitable. It doesn’t matter how hard the problem is or how tangled it has become. We can find the answers we need, and when we’re ready, can do what is needed to settle the issue once and for all, and move on.
Today if you’ve been trying to avoid a situation or someone difficult, remember how strong and powerful you are. You are perfectly capable of managing anything you must and there is nothing that can overcome you. Be confident and stand firm. Every blessing is already waiting for you, and with patience and determination, every success will be yours.
