It can be challenging to maintain a
positive attitude and a measure of faith when you are in the midst of
difficult times. This is partly because we tend to think that if the
universe loves us, we will experience that love in the form of positive
circumstances. However, we are like children, and the universe is our
wise mother who knows — better than we do — what our souls need to
thrive. Just as a young child does not benefit from getting everything
they want, we also benefit from times of constriction and difficulty
because those moments and events help us grow and learn. If we keep this
in mind and continue to trust that we are loved even when things are
hard, we can endure those times with grace.
This period of time in history is full
of struggles for a lot of human beings, and you may feel less alone
knowing that you are not being singled out. There are extreme energy
changes pulsing through the universe at every level, and we are all part
of the growing process — and the growing pains. It helps if we remember
that life is one phase after another, and this arduous time will
inevitably give way to something new and different. When we feel
overwhelmed, we can comfort ourselves with the wise saying, “This too
shall pass.”
At the same time, if you truly feel
that nothing is going right for you, it’s never a bad idea to examine
your life and see if there are some changes you can make to alleviate
some of the difficulty. Gently and compassionately exploring the areas
giving you the most trouble may reveal things you are holding on to and
need to release: unprocessed emotions, unresolved transitions, or
negative ways of looking at yourself or reality. As you take
responsibility for the things you can change, you can more easily surrender
to the things you can’t, remembering all the while that this phase will,
without doubt, give way to another.
