Since the New Year, I've taken some time to reflect on what I am most grateful for and what a blessing life lessons are. I want to share some of my thoughts on the subject with you. For those of you who don't realize, life is a classroom. People and/or situations come into our lives to challenge our souls to unfold to the next level. Challenges, in and of itself, can be however you choose to see it. For me, a challenge is what it is. I try not to assign any qualities to it and I do my best to roll with it. One thing I know for sure is anything you fight has the potential to fight you back.
These challenges(people/situations)will show you where your focus is. Whether it's on the outer(material or physical) or the inner(spiritual). If it's on the outer, you will find yourself clinging or experiencing withdrawals. If it's on the inner you will have a sense that everything is going to be okay no matter what the outcome. This is your higher consciousness at work. The higher consciousness always knows that things will work together for your good.
When these challenges show up, we can choose to make the spiritual connection thereby getting the lesson and moving on with a greater sense of who we are. Or we can simply miss the connection, allowing it to pass right over our heads and keep experiencing the same challenge in different forms until we get it.
Wishing it away is only our ego's way of resisting change. But change we must. We must learn to be open and receptive on this spiritual journey. Because the sooner we realize that all challenges come to assist our souls to unfold to higher levels of consciousness, the less time and energy we waste swimming against the currant.
This year in 2009, one of my goals is to remain open and receptive to life's lessons, for the enrichment of my soul's unfoldment.
Be Blessed!
