Giving Thanks For Tough Times
You might be surprised to find that the life events you thought were the most difficult, actually were the best of times. Those were times that gave you strength and wisdom. Yes, you often look back with a sigh of relief that you are no longer there. But look again – what other feelings might you have hidden away because those events are painful to remember? Sometimes, when we recall the most wrenching and challenging of times, we also feel proud of ourselves. We survived. We became more skilled at living life. We may even feel … grateful.

We Ask Why – The Guides Answer
Many of us wonder why: Why is life here on Earth so harsh? Why do people suffer? What is the meaning of all of this? I have been asked this by clients in many sessions. Here is what my Guides said recently:

“The Earth is like a crucible for the soul. The experiences on Earth offer tremendous benefits and refinement. Descent into the depths of pain, followed by ascent into Light once more creates an alchemical transformation. Having been in this dimension called Earth, you are now a more Dimensional being, filled with compassion and the potential for vastness. Had you not found the courage to embark on this embodied journey, you would be far behind where you are today in your soul’s evolution.”

Trace Your Journey
As you consider these words from the Guides, look within your own heart and trace your personal journey over the stepping stones of difficulties. Hold yourself with deep compassion and respect for all that you have moved beyond. Look ahead at potential trouble spots to move through, and allow yourself to feel how courageous and brave you have been thus far. Whatever lies ahead, your past has prepared you.

And beyond this lifetime, is the sweet remembrance that the whole Universe holds us in very high regard, just for the fact that we have been able to face this Earth challenge to become the refined beings we are today.
