Everything's all right

Just for today life is exactly where it is supposed to be. That may be a difficult message to hear when people are struggling with the effects of our societal attitude towards the economy or a relationship that is on the rocks. As human beings we have been given the gift of resiliency. We have experienced periods of profit and loss, joy and sadness, and health and sickness. These are cycles in our lives that are the ebb and flow that promote growth. Think of what life would be like if each day was filled with neutral experiences. We would awaken each morning without a sense of direction or purpose since today was exactly like the day before and the day before. It is through our challenges that we stretch ourselves and create solutions that move us forward to the next phase of growth and receptivity. We can look back on our lives with an appreciation for whatever we were experiencing knowing that it was just what we needed at the time. What is happening in your life today that tells you that everything is all right?
