Blessings often appear as misfortunes and trials. Meeting a challenge in a positive way begins with embracing it rather than resisting it. Accepting the truth about what is so places us in a position to learn and move forward.
Of course, we will not have positive, accepting feelings each time life knocks us down. Events can be devastating, and I do not minimize the tough times that all of us will experience as we travel through life. Some experiences will require much time and healing. Time does heal as it teaches; we need not allow feelings of frustration to define our outcomes.
We can examine our thoughts and choose constructive reactions, responding consciously. Our faith and determination can be stronger than any misfortune. All events in our lives are interconnected; where we stand today is dependent on all previous experiences in our lives being exactly what they were.
Within each storm of life is hidden a key that will unlock another door that you were meant to walk through.
What have been the greatest emotional challenges that you have conquered? What thoughts strengthened you to rise above these challenges? What blessings did you receive?
Resolve today to meet every emotional challenge with purposeful thought and determined action. Resolve that every situation you encounter will make you better, stronger, wiser, more skillful, and more loving.
By meeting emotional challenges with faith and conviction, you will grow stronger and discover experiences of joy and lasting treasure.
