O2
Lately, I feel that I'm in for the fight of my life. As challenges and tests from the universe arise, I focus on my reasons and my mission. The pain of adverse experiences don't go away; however, with my purpose in mind, it keeps me grounded while I go through them.
One of my major obstacles recently is feeling misunderstood. While everyday, I am working hard towards my goal, it's as though I'm the only one who sees it. This may not necessarily be true at all. It's like the jedi master Obi-Wan telling Anakin, "Be mindful of your thoughts. They do betray you". I feel the universe is testing my emotional intelligence for later abundance and prosperity.
While it is true we attract what we think about, we mustn't always see bad events and circumstances as a negative thing we attracted. This is especially true if we are aligned with positive thoughts and actions toward our desires. What we have attracted in this case is a series of events and circumstances, some good and some bad, that lead to what we really want. I call the bad ones "tests", as I mentioned earlier.
Knowing this, I still find myself slipping occasionally into my old ways of negative thinking. This happens especially when I've tried and tried and tried again and again to get a project off the ground, and there are no results at all. My good friend Hector once said, "If this is happening, then ask, 'What am I doing wrong?'". As simple of a concept it is, I had never thought of that!
Life can be very distracting. With family, circumstances and drama, we can be very well consumed by it, like I was. Thanks to another friend, Joe, he reminded me to "tune out the static". It's going to be there regardless but don't ignore the negative. We must handle it, but don't dwell or focus on it.
Sometimes, our true friends tell us things that we don't feel comfortable with. In the end, if the intention is good and it's parallel towards real progression, we should accept it and even embrace it. This is another test of our humility for later abundance and prosperity. I got pushed in the pool. It's now time to sink or swim!
