Does life just happen to you or do you play a part in its creation?

When we embark on this journey of life we come to explore various aspects of ourselves through different experiences. The people we meet & the situations we encounter can teach us a little more about ourselves, about who we are and what we really want. It is in a world of diversity that we learn, grow and expand our awareness to fully understand who we are and where we are heading.

Sometimes those circumstances are wonderful and at times they can be challenging. But if we do need this type of experiences for our own growth, perhaps an unsuccessful relationship can teach us more about self-love or through the loss of a job we might find new opportunities to change focus and direction and to follow our dreams.

When we look at the big picture, we may see that these situations could point us to look within for our own answers to find out what more can be accomplished. When we seek to understand what we need to heal and balance within ourselves; we are then able to align more with our goals and we might discover that within ourselves we had all along the potential and the resources that we needed.

Losing my job years ago helped me realize that I was living my life in fear. Fear of losing everything, fear of the unknown and surely fear of my own strengths and abilities. And so, this time challenged me to look within for answers as an opportunity to understand myself better, to heal on a deeper level so that I could move beyond my own mind’s limitations. So, this awareness and my conscious choices have taken me on a path to follow my heart and to connect to my purpose.

As we become more aware of our own energies, our thoughts and emotions we start to understand how they shape our reality. We do have choices and our life is our own responsibility. What we focus on creates our reality. To quote Henry Ford, “Whether you think that you can or you think you can’t, you’re right”.

When we start paying more attention to our inner world and make more conscious decisions we can start changing our life and our world for the better. The Universe is not only something external, but very much part of you and you are a co-creator with the Universe. So, what would you like to focus your energy on today?

We are not at the mercy of circumstances, but we can learn from the experience and turn it to our advantage.

The past is a piece to be understood and integrated to allow you to live more fully in the present moment to create the future that you truly want. This is a journey of self-healing, self-discovery and expansion.

So, what is happening in your own life that offers you the opportunity to learn and grow? And what would you like to create for yourself today?

You know when you start asking questions, you eventually do receive answers...
