We all go through tough times, but how we view what we are going through is completely up to us. And that’s what the Universe wants us to focus on today- to change the way we’ve been looking at things, our perspective, so that we can change our lives. We always have a choice on how we "see" everything and everyone in our lives. You can look at your life in one of two ways: either you are destined to be punished eternally and live a miserable life full of pain, hurt, suffering and guilt; or you are going through all of this because the Universe knows that you are strong enough to bear it and you will emerge stronger, better, and happier than if you did not go through it. Today, set your intentions to consciously change your perspective on what’s happening in your life right now. Today, take some time to look at your life and think of the many tough times you have endured and the many blessings that have arisen from them. Today, acknowledge that you, in truth, always have a chance to find the bright side to your situation, no matter how tough it seems, by only changing your perspective and identifying the positive of every experience. Today, remind yourself that no matter what you are going through that it won’t last forever. There is no emotion or situation that will last forever. Life ebbs and flows, and the good and bad in life will come and go, eternally. Today, remember that changing your perspective is like changing the window through which you view the world. When you change how you view the world, you change how you feel about it. When you change they way you look at the world, the world around will begin to change. Today, instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns, be happy the thorn bush has roses. Just for today, I see the world through eyes of love. I love what I see. I am willing to change the way I look at every situation in my life. And when I do, the world around me changes. I am willing to change and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
