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 what our souls need to thrive better
than we do. Just as a young child does not benefit from getting everything
she wants, we also benefit from times of constriction and difficulty that
help us grow and learn. If we keep this in mind and continue to trust that we
are loved even when things are hard, it helps us bear the difficult times
with grace.
This period of time in history is full of difficulty for a lot of human beings,
and you may feel less alone knowing 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 that this difficult 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.
