“You have within you, right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.”

Brian Tracy

Sometimes we have so much heaviness in our hearts and minds that we truly question if we have it in us to make it through to the other side. As I have evolved on my spiritual journey, I have become a true believer in the law of attraction. This means that I create every circumstance that comes into my life. If it’s negative and I am struggling to deal with it, I have learned that this means I need to develop or work on something within myself. The situation has manifested as a test, a challenge or a lesson. When I look at it like this it keeps me from surrendering to the pain, sadness, anger, etc. Then I can focus instead on what I have within me to get through the obstacle I am facing. This way of thinking has been life-transforming for me because it turns my challenges into learning experiences, giving me opportunities to grow and become stronger. 

I encourage you to try this because it will prevent you from focusing solely on the event itself, which can keep you locked into the problem and blind you from finding the way forward.
