Embrace it All.

Life is a delicate balance of polarity. For every light, there is a shadow; with every shadow, there is a greater appreciation for light. One cannot exist without the other. Life is rich in ALL of its elements. Without cold, there can be no hot.  Without sorrow, there can be no joy. It is only in the experience of the opposite that one can truly gain understanding of what is or might be. Your hand only casts a shadow when the light shines upon it (without one, there cannot be the other). It is only when we can embrace the perfection of ALL that we will achieve true peace.

Take a moment to recall a painful memory. What was the gift in this experience?  How did this experience contribute to your success or current journey? If you cannot answer these questions, dig a little deeper. Do you accept or reject your life experience as a necessary part of your journey?

Success or sabotage? Success is achieved once you are able to reject the concept or notion of sabotage and see it all as integral steps on a larger path.

Is this going to be an incredible day? What if you accept this day as perfect NO MATTER how it unfolds?
