Nobody always gets what they want when they want it. To better handle the emotions and feelings when I don’t get my way, it is my responsibility to make the choice that serves my inner commitment rather than holding onto what I thought should be. Only I can know the importance of my desire and control where I guide it.

Having knowledge can give me a sense of security but it is not something that must be complete while I am still learning. Choosing to not resist what I discover in order to understand a bigger picture assists me to grow with what happens. Putting past and present together for future reference, I move from what was into what is.

 To prevent myself from believing that life is against me when I meet an opposition, I pay attention to the change and concentrate on knowing myself through it. A challenge indicates something I did not consider and accepting it is my agreement to learn

 Viewing my soul as the consistent root of my person, I am grateful for its grounded values and how it held me to who I am in difficult moments. For the times I thought I needed to be something else, it saved me  by continuing to believe and guiding me to be myself.

A reflection on how I have come to view challenges that make me question my ability. I am continuously inspired to search for the ways that offer growth. I live to appreciate subtle opportunities rather than assume that I am unable.
