Find your Door.

Sometimes we awaken without any sense of possibility. Opportunity may indeed surround us, but we do not see it. We are blinded by present circumstances that do not fit our expectations or desires. How can we walk through a door that we cannot see?

There is a moment when many stop. It is often at the moment when the despair is so deep that we must surrender to it or simply stop breathing. Once the breath calms (usually from the exhaustion of the panic), we begin to see the beauty of the wall. It may not be our primary choice for “decorating,” but we realize that each wall has its own innate beauty and purpose. Once we are able to acknowledge its beauty and significance (just in the acceptance of its existence), we find a door that has previously eluded our sight.

Today, surrender your doubt. You may not know the significance or inherent gifts of the obstacles that line your path. You may not know what lies ahead. You may not know from where the money will come to pay your bills. Just trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. It is unfolding in ways that we cannot begin to imagine to create the most effective opportunities for you to reach your personal goals. Surrender to a truth that you do not yet understand. Direct your faith to the idea that you are the exception rather than the rule. Do not wait until tomorrow.

Success or sabotage? Are you willing to accept success even when it arrives in an unexpected package?

Is this going to be an incredible day? No one or no thing can prevent this from being an incredible day, no matter how strong the wall may seem to appear. Admire its beauty and potential significance and use it to your advantage to find your door.
