The Next Place

9 Apr

We go through many experiences in our lives. Nobody gets a perfect life, and we’ll all go through ups and downs, highs and lows, disasters, and joyful reunions. Although we may wish for a life filled with only good times, we don’t live in paradise, and we’re going to face trouble at some point. When we’re going through a difficult passage, we may wish we were someplace else – anything to get us away from where we are. It’s natural to want to avoid suffering, but we are living in this moment and wishing for the next will never help us through. Although we may have some perfect days when everything goes well, the sun shines, and we’re blissfully happy, they cannot last forever. Problems will arise, conflict will come, and we may feel overwhelmed and discontented. While we’re suffering, we may believe that our happiness is in the next place, the next job, or the next connection, and if we hang on until we get there, we’ll be fine. If we continually believe our happiness is somewhere else, it can’t be where we are. It’s possible there are great blessings just ahead, but constantly believing what’s next is where we need to be is a fool’s game. We are living now, in this moment. If we’re going through a difficult time, we can believe we’ll prevail, trust in our ability to overcome, and step forward with confidence. There is no need to wish for tomorrow. Every situation, even very bad ones, give us something of value. We can live in each moment, treasuring the benefits there for us, and be sure we’ll find our way forward. We don’t need to wish for tomorrow to get through today. Everything necessary to prevail and reach happiness is here for us at every moment, and we are wise enough to find all the answers we need. Today is the most important day of our lives. Yesterday is gone and can never be changed, and tomorrow is ahead. We are here now, and every happiness we desire is possible.

We all have things about ourselves we want to change. It’s good to have goals that move us closer to where we want to be, but there is no need to put our happiness off until we achieve them. We can be happy where we are, even if it’s not exactly where we want to be. There is goodness in every step, and by embracing what is positive and uplifting, we will find great satisfaction as we move ahead.

Happiness isn’t something we earn. We don’t get it after we’ve marked off enough boxes or filled enough requirements. It’s a gift we give to ourselves and can be found in every situation. There is always something for which to be grateful and by recognizing every blessing, we can uncover great personal joy. Hard times will come and we’re going to struggle, but if we keep our minds focused on where we are, and all the good around us, we will find peace.

Today look at your life exactly where you are and notice every blessing. You are perfect just as you are and exactly where you need to be. Decide how you want to move forward and begin toward the goals you most desire. There is great joy in living today well. Be confident, and every blessing will be yours.

Mountains Behind Us

17 Jun

Life is full of challenges. Every day brings something new, and each experience teaches us more about life and the world. Nobody gets a perfect life filled with constant ease and comfort, and we all face trials and trouble from time to time. Sometimes what we’re facing isn’t too hard and although inconvenient is more of an annoyance than a huge disruption. But life is fickle, and we may find ourselves in a situation that seems impossible. The road ahead may seem so steep and threatening, we may think there is no way we will ever survive. We may believe the mountain we must climb is too high and treacherous for us to navigate. Terrible things may happen, disasters may strike, and we may lose everything. The road ahead may be unimaginably hard and we may be frozen in fear wondering how we’ll ever overcome it. Although the mountain in front of us may seem impossible, we have already conquered very difficult problems in the past. There are many mountains behind us we’ve surmounted and overcome. Each trial has taught us something of value, and we have reserves of courage and strength to draw on. Even if the path before us is harder than anything we’ve faced so far, and even if at first, we have no idea how we’ll manage, we have everything we need to prevail. There is no need to shrink and think we aren’t strong enough or smart enough to win. We are more powerful and intelligent than we think we are. The mountain may be large and looming ahead, but we are strong enough to reach the top. By trusting ourselves and relying on our ability to understand and comprehend even very complex issues, we will find our way through. Nothing is strong enough to vanquish us. We will find all the answers we need, and with determination and endurance, will succeed.

Trouble is a part of life, and change is constant. In a moment, everything could tip, and the road beneath us may disappear. The destination we were headed to may be gone, and we may be left standing stunned, wondering what to do next. When big problems plague us, there is no need to panic. We are capable of unraveling even the most complicated and difficult challenges. There isn’t anything we can’t manage, and manage well. We can trust that life will go on, and we will prevail.

There are some things we may think we could never handle, and hope and pray they won’t come to us. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, and it may happen that our worst fears are realized. If the whole world turns upside down, and everything we thought was real disappears, we still have ourselves to rely on. We will always find the way through whatever has occurred. Nothing can hold us down indefinitely, and with courage and faith, we will find our way.

Today if you’re facing a huge challenge and you aren’t sure you can manage it, look back at everything you’ve already overcome. This is just one more step. You already possess everything required to find all the answers you need. Trust yourself, and be confident. Nothing can keep you from success. You are amazing and powerful, and you will prevail.

Fearless

6 Mar

Life is unpredictable and we never know what will happen next. Things go right, and things go wrong. Sometimes we’re surprised by a turn of events, and when they turn in ways that are difficult or daunting, we may be concerned or fearful we cannot face them. A lot can go wrong when we least expect it and if the rug is quickly pulled out from under us, we may be stunned and for a moment be unable to move. Fear is a natural emotion we all experience from time to time. Even the most courageous and brave among us is not immune. Our innate fight or flight reflex will be triggered at some point, and we may be rattled. When we’re unsure and worried, when the future is uncertain, and we don’t know what to do next, fear often enters the equation. It can paralyze us and make it impossible to think. But we are intelligent and have all the wisdom we need to figure out any problem or complication. It doesn’t matter if everything goes wrong, it doesn’t matter if the road we were on has disappeared, or if what’s happened is beyond what we can process right now. There will always be options before us and every answer we need will be there. We can take the time necessary to consider everything, decide on our next steps and confidently choose what we will do. Nobody is fearless, but when fear comes, we need not let it overcome us. We are more powerful than we think we are, and nothing can hold us down indefinitely. The future is always unknown, but nothing will happen we can’t manage. Every goal will still be there for us, even if we have to reconfigure how we’ll reach it. Life may throw us for a loop, but we are flexible and smart, and can bend to adjust. The destinations we desire are still there, and with confidence and assurance, we will reach them.

We’re always in control of ourselves and our personal lives, but we have no control over anything else. Illness, calamity, accidents, unforeseen roadblocks, and endless other complications will come. Even if we sequestered ourselves and tried to hide from the world, there would still be risk of some sort that things will go wrong. Nothing is ever certain and change is constant. But we are strong and capable, and can trust ourselves to manage whatever we must, and find our way through.

There is no way to know what tomorrow will bring. Even if we try to prepare, everything may change and all our preparations may be for naught. Our plans may fail, others may let us down, and at times it may feel the whole world is conspiring against us. It will never be true that there is no way out. There will always be another door and another road ahead. We can be sure of our ability to find the answers we need, and move forward with determination and confidence. We already have everything we need to accomplish our goals, and find complete happiness.

Today if your world has been rattled and you’re afraid you won’t succeed, trust yourself. You are smarter and more capable than you think. There isn’t anything you can’t do. Be sure of yourself, and step forward with confidence. Everything is possible, and nothing can keep you from success.
