You can’t expect for life to always be easy-going. 

Yes, you’d like that to be the case but you would only be deceiving yourself. 

The turbulence you encounter is designed to strengthen your resolve and more often than not prepare you for the next hurdle. 

Don’t expect the next malady to have anything in common with the previous catastrophe. 

This lesson may only be about increasing your strength and assisting you in your ability to handle more and not necessarily that of the same. 

Allow the story to play out in its entirety; then look for the underlying message. 

Go with your gut without standing on pretense. See it for what it is. 

There will be a new episode down the road that will come to mind and there will be a message you can apply to this new scenario. 

You encounter every experience for a reason; life is the thread that weaves them all together and you dictate any unraveling. 

See The Forest For The Trees! 

One of the most important things I’ve learned recently is that the universe has safeguards in place to save us from ourselves. 

Occasionally ideas pop into our heads that will eventually take us down the wrong road if executed. We don’t initially know it but the future will reveal this is the result of a harmful choice. 

In my case, a roadblock appeared that prevented me from making a catastrophic mistake and all of the details have yet to be revealed to me. Gratefully, I’ve already got the message. 

As you travel through life with your own agenda, beware of the impenetrable roadblocks that pop up at every turn; “IT’S HAPPENING FOR A REASON!” 

It’s not always a bad thing; it could be there for your protection and mean for you to take a right instead of a left. 

Inevitably, it could be a blessing in disguise. 

Just Pay Attention! 

Everything comes from love. 

Even the sick twisted perverted type is for most of us an unfamiliar distorted kind of love. 

Some love is derived from pain. Its owner spent many hours trying to create a normalcy many of us take for granted. 

Putting yourself in the shoes of the voice of darkness expands your range of condolence. These flavors may not be to your liking but your awareness of their existence spotlights the point. 

We are all love. Find the one that’s right for you. 

Share Your Love! 

Utilize every opportunity to bring forth your own individual interpretation of joy into the world. 

Usually this joy is expressed in its creative aspect in whatever that form is for you. Repressing this outward expression initiates a chokehold on your pipeline to the infinite. 

Staying aware allows you to ensure debris is not clogging and preventing the flow. Any roadblocks can be alleviated when replaced with joy. 

Many painters have utilized used canvases to create new masterpieces. 

Sometimes two steps back is aligning you with the catapult that will deliver you to a new trajectory. Don’t fight the feeling; just see where it takes you. 

Surfs Up! 

Any time you take a break it’s a good thing. 

A restorative “time out” allows fresh ideas to charge in. 

You don’t have to scrub or demolish the entire project; just stepping away or flushing your mind will garner a whole new perspective. 

Having a beverage, eating a snack or taking a walk will instantly set your redirect in motion. Take this time, give this particular task your all and it will rejuvenate your psyche with a freshness you can apply to your mission. 

Some feasts require overnight marinating. 

Don’t Rush The Process! 

“Take a deep breath and relax”. 

Keeping those words in mind throughout your day will allow you to maintain control. 

People will say/do things and situations occur that are beyond our control; the way we respond will always be under our control. Maintaining your composure prevents you from relinquishing the reins to these outside forces. 

Some days it’ll take you right to the edge but whatever you do DON’T JUMP! 

Those jagged rocks below have numerous consequences. You may not feel the effects of all of them right now but they can potentially reach far into your future. 

It’s important to take time daily and visualize what that future looks like for you. Make sure the details are of your design then allow that vision to lift you up into where you want to be rather than looking back in the past and drawing from the familiar. 

As creative beings, we flourish when doing what comes naturally. Figure out and implement what that is for you; then develop, practice and multiply your inner glow. 

Incorporating this into your life regularly revives that song in your heart and a spring in your step.
