What if you knew that everything that is happening in your life right now is in fact exactly what you need to move forward? What if that friend who doesn't return your call, the co-worker who keeps disrupting your work day, the doctor's office that can't give you an appointment when you want it, the thunderstorm, or the empty produce shelf, were all essential pieces for your learning about yourself? What if you knew that all the things that feel annoying or distressing are absolutely what you need to grow?
If, as many of us believe, there is divine intervention when wonderful things happen such as meeting the right teacher, finding the last piece of the puzzle, getting a promotion, the birth of a child, falling in love, were all in snyc with our life's journey, then why wouldn't the 'not so good feeling' stuff be that too?
And if that's true (and it might be) then how differently do you want to respond to each of these uncomfortable, discouraging or maddening situations?
If we live our lives believing that the events we encounter are perfect for us, then we stop blaming or complaining and start looking. We look for the underlying meaning, the symbolism, the lesson that we may have been ignoring time and time again.
Be curious about your life today. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be, with the right people, the right circumstances, and the right weather! Take the time to notice what is being triggered inside of you and if it feels 'yucky', celebrate the opportunity to learn and let go.
