"Life is always for you; it is never against you." — William Holden
William Holden goes on to say, "It is a fact that blessings sometimes come wrapped in fear, pain, and tears. In choosing to practise unconditional gratitude you are choosing to trust the process, to honour your feelings and to place your faith in an outcome of inevitable grace".
I have made it through the last couple of weeks. I'm not sure what was going on for me, but I had no desire to write. I look back and realise that I needed a time of reflection and time to identify a way to keep moving forward. I needed to find some clear direction. There are always those commitments and pressures of everyday life. I know that when I resist, these things get complex. My Angels assure me that when I simply let go and allow my life to move with gratitude and ease, things will keep me moving toward my feelings of worth. Learning to surrender to the changes around me is important. It helps me to explore new ideas and allows the right people to come into my life to help me. My Angels encourage me to not forget to compliment those key people who have helped support me so far this year. People coming and going in our lives is normal, because we all change. What fitted yesterday may not fit today, they have changed and we have changed.
I try not to take anything for granted and to not be so stuck in doing something a certain way that I leave no room for good advice — it is simply my pathway being tweaked a little for a better outcome and helping me become what I have hoped to achieve. Remember, the simplest form of gratitude is Joy. Let what you focus on expand. Focus on goodness and you will create more of it in relationships and opportunities.
So, my friends, live this week as best you can. Move with gratitude and ease as each day goes by. Arohanui.
