It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.” -Seneca
“Let go of the attachment, keep the lesson” – L.J. Vanier
When we’re experiencing a difficult time it is SO HARD to see the positives. Our perspective becomes more short-term than long-term, we lose sight of the options and possibilities we have.
I’ve experienced TRYING times. In those moments I remind myself that if I give myself over to worries and fears, then my sight closes even further.
Sometimes, things get SO CHALLENGING, we want to throw our hands in the air and give up. “This is too hard! There’s nothing I can do.”
Those who are connected to themselves and/or a higher power keep an eye on the horizon, continue looking at the BIGGER picture. We breathe deeply into the challenge, so as to not interfere with the frequencies we are putting out to the world.
So now what, Dani??
My action step suggestion is to practice letting go. I know. This is one of those things that sounds easy but can be tough.
Imagine if you were holding your arm out with a pencil in your hand. The longer you held your arm out, holding on to the pencil, eventually your arm would begin to hurt. Holding on to things only hurts ourselves. Besides, we want to manifest goodness into our lives, right?
love always,
dani
