I am beginning to realize that I am always moving where I need to go through the challenging and even catastrophic situations. While I am worrying, praying, crying and venting, things are moving forward and I couldn’t see it. While I was struggling and focusing on the problem, I did not realize I was moving forward.
The troubles and challenges, if I learn from them, can move me to new places in my beliefs, my paradigm of how the world looks, and even new opportunities. Never really thought of my challenges and difficulties as blessings but they can be. I must remind myself as I go through these challenges that there is probably a reason, something I need to learn from this situation. I have adopted a new philosophy and it is that my life is a continuous learning journey. Everything that happens to me is an opportunity for me to learn and grow. To inch pass where I was yesterday to a new location that offers new opportunities and new challenges.
So take a few moments this week and reflect on this last week, last month and even last year and see if you can see how things have helped change you and maybe even change your perspective and outlook to move you to a new place in your life. Refocus on these difficult times and ask the question of yourself, “What is it that I need to be learning from my challenges that could help me grow and move forward”?
You got this! Go crush it this week!
Order a copy of my book “Choices” and see if it can help you navigate your new journey.

I reflect on my life and my realizations that my purpose in life is to experience all that life has to offer, not the good and the bad in its multiple perspective ways of thoughts and feelings.
I find when things reoccurring in my life I need to stop and look and contemplate why they are there and how they need to be handled to reassert my future and my everlasting.
I am in awe how this realization is a part of your journey as well and others I have spoken have similar realizations of how life turns and returns!

Agree, our journey can really make us better if we are aware and allow it
