Be Flexible, Be Humble and Be Compassionate

I had a recent experience that makes me trust that God & the universe will provide and pick you up when things get tough. Just when I felt at my lowest and completely defeated and was ready to give up, someone came along literally picked up the pieces that I could no longer juggle myself.

When you're following your dream, things will not always go smoothly, even when the law of attraction is working. I know I've said this before, but when I say it ain't easy, I mean that in all extremes. So, when times get tough and you get burned out or ready to give up, go talk to someone you know can help you and pick you back up. You won't have a hard time finding such a person if you followed my advice in one of my previous blogs about surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people.

Rome wasn't built in a day and certainly wasn't built by one person. It takes a team to move a mountain, so don't be afraid to seek help. Especially if, like me, your dream involves something as big as moving a mountain. When you follow your heart, there's no room for ego, so get over yourself and get help. If you really want something, you just need a little pick-me-up. Sometimes literally someone to pick you up and carry you for a little while - carry you back on your path. I've forgotten about it for a long time until just now but what comes to mind is that Footprints poem.

Also, easier said than done, is don't get discouraged when it's taking longer than you'd like to achieve what you want. If you're planting your "seed", your dream, out there into the universe, according to the law, it has to respond but it takes some time to grow anything from the time you plant it in the ground. I think it's helpful to plant some small things that don't take as long to grow in addition to your main, big dream. That way, you can see when the law of attraction starts to work and it keeps you going. Also, if you surround yourself with positive people and continue doing things you love you'll have fun along the way and before you know it, you will have realized your dream.

Maybe the road to success isn't bumpy for everyone. I think it's bumpier for some than others. It just depends on how well you're listening to your inner voice - that guidance from the universe. Some of us have to learn our lessons the hard way. I'll admit, I've learned a few hard lessons in my life. When you encounter a bump, it's an opportunity (I like to think of it as a sign) to take a step back and analyze what your thought patterns have been and what you're doing. I think I'll create my own equation that can predict the severity of difficulty you'll have in life. The harder your head, the harder the lessons you'll have to learn.

So, my words of wisdom for the day: don't be stubborn, be flexible, be humble and be compassionate (for yourself and others) and you won't get yourself into too much trouble.

What is success?

If money ensures happiness, why do I see so many miserable millionaires? It's true, I've known a couple personally. It's strange to me that some people become so successful at something that their soul isn't happy with. It seems to contradict the law of attraction because from what I've been told and what I've experienced, you have to have your whole heart and soul into something to manifest it. Maybe we have to define what success is. I like to celebrate success at all levels.

Just something to contemplate.
