When I find myself in the midst of a challenging experience, I ask myself Why is this happening to me? Not in a whiny, wailing kind of way (not anymore that is, believe me, there was a time when I surely would have), but in a genuinely curious way.
I know now that no matter how tough things are for me there is an opportunity for growth and expansion in the experience. And when I dont know the reason for whats happening, I hold the intention to know it. It doesnt have to be right away. I accept that the knowledge or insight may well come in hindsight, and so I do the best I can to deal with the situation while trusting that everything will be alright.
I know when the going gets tough that Ive created or attracted the experience at an unconscious level through my thoughts, feelings and overall energy. I also know that this outer event does not have to impact my inner self if I dont give it the power to do so. How I experience the event, how I get through it is down to me, I am not powerless in my response to the situation. I realise that I need to shift my energy, to align it more with how I’d prefer things to be rather than how they are/I don’t want...
