Try as we may, we can’t always control life, and sometimes painful things happen that we couldn’t possibly predict or prevent. And, when life doesn’t go to plan, it is up to us to embrace the change and realize that our lives are composed of chapters; one that has ended and another one, which is about to begin. But we can’t move on to the next chapter if we continually re-read old ones or if we choose to play the victim or choose to dissolve into self pity. Instead, of getting mired down with those defeatist thoughts, we have to willingly accept that life goes on, and that we have a chance to create something bigger and better. Today, consciously become aware that your life will be a lot happier when you strive to make the most of what life gives you by trusting the process and embracing the change, whatever it is. Only then, once you stop fighting it, can you go about making lemonade out of the lemons that Life has given you. We’ve all been faced with situations in our lives that force our hand. And we likely will be faced with these kinds of situations again in the future. In these moments, it’s important to hold onto the notion that life could be creating space for you to do something differently. Today acknowledge that you have made it through loss and hardship before, what makes you think you can’t now? You can. You just need to remember three things: life happens for your benefit not against it, everything heals with enough time, and it’s pointless to keep resisting. With these ideas in mind, it should be exciting to think about the potential you have in your life. The next chapter could be even more amazing than the previous one. Today, be okay with not knowing for sure what might come next, but know that whatever it is, you will be okay.

Just for today, I have faith in the unlimited loving power of the Universe. I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. I trust in the perfection of divine timing and allow my life to unfold as it should. I am willing to change and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
