Learn from History.

Insanity is often defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.  Every circumstance provides you with an opportunity for greater clarity and understanding. If you walk with your heart and eyes open, you will gain wisdom through a course of greater consciousness. 

This is easier said than done when you are in the midst of troubling circumstances. It is easy to bathe in the misery of discomfort, feeling victimized by society and wondering how you could be so foolish to find yourself in your present position. The truth is, however, there is a kernel of wisdom to be gained by this experience. You may not feel particularly blessed; you may not feel joy in the midst of another life lesson. Rest assured, however, that everything is working in your favor. You may not know how, but are you willing to entertain the possibility? If this was indeed an opportunity to awaken a greater good and move you more effectively in the direction of your true calling, wouldn't it be worth some momentary discomfort?

Success or sabotage? Your life history is filled with uninvited challenges that lead to greater awareness, power and possibility. If you are going to increase your success, learn from the history of your own life.

Is this going to be an incredible day?  If the previous behavioral patterns of the week have not been working, do something different. try something new!
