Rescue Me

8 Sep

Nobody gets a perfect life where everything goes as planned, there are no problems to overcome, and they always look good. Life is filled with unexpected complications and even when we try hard to prevent them, problems will arise. Most of the time we can take them in stride and solve each one as it comes, but there may be a time when it seems the planets have aligned against us and everything we touch goes wrong. Sometimes it may seem we can’t get anything right and we’re doomed to a life of despair. When we feel defeated and can’t see any way out, we may hope and pray for someone to come along and magically save us. Maybe someone with a cape and super powers who can rescue us and create our brand new trouble free life with a fabulous new job, a closet full of amazing clothes (that fit perfectly), all the money we want and a loving family that doesn’t complain.  Yeah, we can hope for that and if we lived in fantasyland it might happen. But we live in the real world and we are the only ones who can rescue us and fix our lives. There will be few times when everything falls into place perfectly. Most of the time there will be some kind of issue, or complication, or problem or someone who’s really annoying who gets in the way. But we are intelligent and able to figure out any problem and find our way through. It might not be easy, and it might not come quickly, but with determination and focus, there isn’t anything we can’t overcome. It doesn’t matter what the issue is. We have all the courage and wisdom we need to move forward and reach success. Everything is possible, and nothing can keep us from the prize.

Fear is part of our survival mechanism. It tells us when danger is near so we can prepare to fight or run. But not all fears are a matter of life or death. If we’ve had a bad experience in a certain situation, when that same situation arises again, we may be afraid of what will happen. We may be uncertain around people who are very powerful or loud, and we may shy away from new experiences because we don’t know what lies ahead. But we can be afraid and courageous at the same time. Just because we aren’t sure we can succeed, never means we shouldn’t try. There is no way to know what we can accomplish unless we put ourselves out there and give it a shot. There is greatness in all of us, and by being confident and standing strong, no matter the circumstance, we will achieve amazing success.

Some problems are very complex and difficult to understand. We share the world with lots of other people and if we need help we can ask for it. Everyone has different experiences and it’s possible someone we know has already been through what we’re dealing with and will have helpful information and guidance. It isn’t weak to seek support – it’s wise. Everything problem has a solution, and with patience and clarity, nothing is beyond our ability. We are powerful and strong, and will find our way through.

Today if you’re overwhelmed and feel unsure about how to proceed, look at everything objectively. The answers you need are already there. If you need help, ask for it. You are smarter than you think and nothing is too difficult for you to manage. Remember all the times you’ve already succeeded and trust yourself. You are amazing and powerful. Be confident and sure. Success is just ahead, and you will reach it.

Trusting the Tide

7 Sep

Life is unpredictable and nobody knows what will happen next or how things will develop. We may be happily sailing along without any concerns when suddenly something changes unexpectedly, and we’re thrown into a fog of confusion and uncertainty. We can only control our own decisions and there are lots of people making choices we know nothing about, that may affect us and stop us in our tracks. When everything turns upside down and we can’t see the road ahead, we may feel surrounded by trouble and lost. The oceans are very big and powerful. Each has a tide that is consistent and constant. No matter what happens in the world, the tide continues to reach the shore. Big storms may cause them to swell and take over the beach, but no storm lasts forever, and eventually everything will settle. We can trust that the rhythm of the tide will continue non-stop until the end of time. When we’re going through extremely difficult and challenging times, when it’s hard to see the way forward and we feel overwhelmed and unsure, it may seem we’ll never get through and instead be frozen in place. We may doubt our ability to manage what’s happening and wonder how we’ll ever find our way again. But we are stronger, wiser and more powerful than we think we are, and nothing can hold us down forever. Like the constant tide, we can trust that no matter where we are or what’s gone wrong, we will find the answers. We will always, every single time, find the way ahead. By remembering how much we’ve already overcome we will find the strength and temerity to stand strong and step forward. Every success is still there for us, and with patience and determination, we will reach them all.

Nobody knows everything and we may face a situation that is so confusing and threatening, we feel it’s impossible. There is too much going on and too much to comprehend all at once. We don’t have to figure everything out in three seconds. If we can’t process what’s going on, we can step back and take the time we need to see everything objectively and clearly. There is always a way forward and by openly looking carefully at the situation, we will find it. Life can be hard, but a big, unexpected turn to the left doesn’t mean we can’t proceed. We are intelligent and capable, and will prevail.

We may face a time when our very worst, dreaded dreams come true. The one thing we thought we could never survive has happened. What do we do now? We can try to hide from the situation, go to bed and pull the blankets up over our head, but refusing to look at problem will never solve it. It will remain until we face it and take it apart piece by piece and find the answers we need. There isn’t anything we can’t do. Like the constant tide, we can trust that no matter what comes, we will find our way through. Life is complicated, but we are smart. Every blessing awaits, and we will make them ours.

Today if you’re facing an extremely difficult situation and you feel overwhelmed, trust yourself. You are powerful and wise and nothing, absolutely nothing can overcome you. Be confident and stand strong. The whole world is blessed because you are here. Show us your best and step forward. There is great success just ahead. Keep your eyes on the goal and you will win.

Our Journey

6 Sep

There are billions of people on the earth and each is individual and unique. We all have ideas about how things should go and what we want to do. Our personal journeys are ours to determine and design. There are endless possibilities and we can do anything we like and go anywhere we want. The future awaits and once we decide how we want to proceed, we can step on any road we choose and move forward. It would be great if others agreed with our choices, and that will likely happen at some point. But our lives belong to us and we don’t need agreement or approval to move in any direction we desire. Nobody knows us better than we know ourselves, and nobody else needs to understand our journey. All families and groups have traditions, and it’s easier when everyone goes along with what’s always been done, but we aren’t responsible for making life easy for those around us. There may be pressure to conform, but we are responsible for our own lives, and no matter what others think or prefer, can go our own way. The world is a big place filled with opportunities. Each choice we make will take us somewhere, and if we choose what we want the most, we will find great happiness and satisfaction. By trusting ourselves, and stepping forward toward the goals we most desire, every dream is possible. We know who we are and what we want, and with clarity and determination, will reach every success.

Sometimes when there are a lot of choices possible, it’s difficult to decide on one. Everything has its benefits and drawbacks, and before we can make a decision, we must first decide what we want to accomplish. Just going from one thing to another, trying this and that, is fine if we just want to superficially experience a lot of different things. But if we want to be successful at actually achieving a goal, we must choose the destination and then do what is necessary to make it ours. There will always be unforeseen complications and snags along the way, but they don’t mean we cannot succeed. We are intelligent and capable, and with determination can achieve anything we desire.

Nobody can see the future or know what will happen next. Once we begin toward a goal we may discover that the road to reaching it is far harder and will take far longer than we thought. If it’s too complex for us to manage right now, we can set it aside until we get more information or our situation changes. There is no rush to reach success, and once we’re ready to start again, we can move forward one step at a time, untangling complications as we go, and with faith and determination, reach the goal.

Today decide what you want and how you want to proceed. The journey ahead is yours to determine, and nothing is out of reach. You don’t need to explain your choice or get approval before you begin. Every destination is possible and nothing can keep you from success. Choose the road forward, and take the first step. Nothing can keep you from success. You are wiser and stronger than you imagine, and you will win.
