Every bad experience, every painful relationship, and every compromise you have ever made all contain valuable and necessary spiritual gifts and blessings.

And, today the Universe wants you to take notice of three things when you’re going through a difficult time that may seem eternal:

First, trust life. There’s a higher purpose behind every seemingly impossible and difficult phase that you may be experiencing. You’ve just got to hang in there and know that it’s for the best. Next, be really willing to change. If you find yourself feeling bad a lot more often than not, take time out to reflect on whether or not you’re happy deep down with what you’re doing. If the answer is no, know that change is always possible but it entails patience and your willingness to release all resistance. Lastly, believe. believe in yourself, even if the world around you doesn’t. If you don’t, who will? Today, trust, believe and then have patience that everything is always working out for your highest good, because it always is.

Just for today, I recognize that patience means being at peace with the process of Life. I am patient, tolerant and diplomatic. I am gentle, kind and comforting to my inner, as I uncover and release old negative messages within me. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. I trust Life. I know it brings me everything I need at the perfect time in the perfect way. I am safe. It is only change and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
