“There comes a time in your life when you finally get it... When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out- ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world from a new prospective. This is your awakening.”
~Excerpt from the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

| It's ok to go through it... your awakening is coming! |
Think about a current situation in your life that is tearing away at you. You cope with it regularly and yearn for the period in time when you don’t have to deal with it anymore. In a recent post, I brought to your attention that everything in life is temporary. With that said, you already know that your issues will be behind you at some point. It is your job to continue living and be ready for when the voice inside of you says ENOUGH! We all have a path that has been laid for us and we will get to a point where we finally get it, get through it and get over it, but ONLY when it is time for us to. Before you continue to plod along agonizing about it, take some time to realize that you are being prepared for something. Today’s challenge is to see everything bad or negative that happens to you as preparation for your awakening.

| You need both to be at peace! |
In a world that is fast paced, waits for nothing and puts up with less than that it can be easy to want to skip the rough patches we encounter. Attempting to skip these experiences can halt our necessary preparation for life’s struggles in the future. When we find ourselves fighting, crying and/or struggling to hold on to—or let go of—something, we can sometimes feel bad for this choice. Resist the urge to do so! Nothing in this life happens by chance. Every ounce of energy in our fight, every tear and every painful struggle has a reward on the other side. When we can see this and utilize it to make us stronger, we can reach higher and become better. Recognizing what role the negative plays in enhancing our positive experiences brings us closer to the awakening we deserve. The good news is no matter whom you are, you have many awakenings waiting patiently for you at the end of any and every struggle.

| Your awakening is just over the horizon! |
Life is, and always will be, about challenges, choices and change. We will all face challenges, we will all make choices and we will all experience change. When faced with either of the three, there may be times that we resist the process of awakening because it can be easy to go with the flow and keep our current pace. As I discussed in “Taking Your Life off Cruise Control”, we have to take a more active role in where our lives go. Many of us are waiting for a miracle and clarity, but are YOU prepared for yours? When you reach your awakening, you will be ready to move forward! If you aren’t ready to move forward, you HAVE NOT reached your awakening! Until next time my loves!
