Being strong isn’t so hard when everything is perfect and going the way you want. True strength is how you DEAL when everything is going “wrong”.
Will you throw in the towel and give up? Or will you persevere, develop some tenacity, and push through your trials and tribulations to reach your goals?
Remember…no matter how things appear, know that God’s will is being accomplished now!! Everything is happening exactly as it should. Trust that you have everything you need to make it through this time. Your life is perfect the way it is. Trials only come to make you stronger. You’re being prepared for something great!!
Be strong…:)
Fill Yourself from the Inside Out
Life presents us with many opportunities to gain mastery in tending our own energy fields. At times we may want to protect ourselves by using energy shields of color, light or angelic presence. Or in order to become more grounded, we may run energy down through our feet or first chakra, rooting ourselves to the earth. Sometimes it’s appropriate to play openly with others in an expansive, flowing state; and at other times, we may want to limit our availability to a chosen few. In certain public environments such as graduation ceremonies, work conventions, or even weddings, it may be important to remain open-hearted and able to connect, while still preventing our individual systems from depletion or overwhelm. In these situations, rather than putting a barrier between ourselves and the world around us, we can fill our energy fields from the inside out. In doing this, we become so filled with our own personal energy that no room is left for outside influences or discordant energy to enter in and affect us.
When you need to connect with people on a one-to-one basis, separate from the bustling environment around you, here is a visualization technique you might try. You can start in the morning and repeat any time as needed. Begin by taking a few moments to breathe deeply and relax. When you are calm and present, envision a ball of light in your solar plexus area just above your belly button. Allow it to build there, growing stronger and stronger. Eventually, allow the light to expand throughout the rest of your body until it fills your entire physical and energetic field.
By filling yourself with your own energy in this way, you become fortified with your own power. You retain access to all of your intuitive and mental abilities. And, you are able to act from a loving space in the midst of any situation.

There comes a time when you’re going through something troubling…but there’s no one, and I mean no one, around to help you. All of a sudden, your counselor is on vacation, your friends are too busy, and your mom just wouldn’t understand. But, despair not, for this is the time you’ve been waiting for. This is the time you’ve been practicing for. This is the time to stand on your own two feet, go within, trust your intuition, and figure it out yourself. The training wheels are gone…and now it’s time to ride that two-wheeler like a big girl…lol!!
Don’t be afraid, just watch and you’ll surprise yourself…you’re a lot stronger and wiser than you give yourself credit for! Now you’ll realize that everyone else didn’t necessarily know all the answers…they just held the key to unlock the answers that were already within you. Everything you need is already within you at this very moment…and now the key is in YOUR hands. So, use it…step out on faith…and see how far you’ve grown!!
You can do it!! 
So…I found myself complaining today. I was doing a great job of it too…picking out all that was wrong, not going right, and could’ve been better. But then, I quickly pulled out a pad and paper, and just started making a list of all the things that were going RIGHT! I made a list of all the positive things happening so far. And, I immediately felt better!! I realized that when you complain, you’re only focusing on the negative…so much so, that you actually start to create more of it. Instead of complaining next time…focus on all the positive aspects, and you’ll certainly create more of that!! Try it!
Have a great weekend!!
