And as Ed summed it up, "Give thanks in advance for everything." We learn and grow spiritually from all unhappy, unpleasant events. It makes us closer to the Source. The important thing to learn is to how to move from feeling bad to feeling good about oneself and the entire situation. Also, Ed has rightly pointed out - deal with such situations with kindness, patience and firmness. Thanks to great souls like you Steve for guiding us on the correct path.

They love to do favers which is wonderful and I really appriate but this gives them a hold over me that I have to put up with their some times personel comments to me which hurts. They also have such a bad attitude sometimes looking on the negative side of things when I look on the postive side. I speek and make a suggestion and they always change my ideas as if they are doing it to wind me up. They have money and have been successful in business. I have no money and out of work. So this makes me week against them. They mean well to me and I have to change my feelings towards them so that I can respond and not react to them and be greatful for thier goodness and reamin carm and incontrol of my actions.

I find myself able to cope with most "interference," but your sentence: "You plan on feeling great for an event and you get sick." ...is the one that hit home with me. This happens to me way too often and I am at a loss as to why. I find myself missing out on opportunities because of it. I will continue to seek inside myself and look for the reason. But, feel free to offer opinions and advice! :) Thanks for this post. I find myself able to cope with most “interference,” but your sentence:

I have started having headaches and feeling of stiffness in my neck......I am right now in a financial mess and even though I try and try I keep thinking of begging people for help. People I have never thought of in a long time keep popping in my head I again and again think about how I am going to ask them for a loan, even by writing this the feeling of un ease is increasing in my neck ..... I keep reminding my self to remain in the positive frame of mind and feel good feeling but I am getting frustrated........So the question is what to do Ever since I have been trying this things have gone from bad to worse. I have started having headaches and feeling of stiffness in my neck……I am right now in a financial mess and even though I try and try I keep thinking of begging people for help.

Maybe now I can "get it" and get on with "it" and stop beating myself up when I attract that which I do not want. Appreciating all of it in and understanding that it is all just an opportunity for my own expansion makes alot of sense! THANK YOU.

I spent this whole weekend in resistance to something that I didn't want but had been creating for years! lol We can be so incredible and yet not appreciate our own creations. This message brought it all home to me in a big way. I see that who I am is good enough and it is okay for me to love myself, always. I don't need to beat myself up or judge myself for what has already been done. I can let go of the past and live in the now. I also don't need to drag the past with me into the future. You are right in that everything is a lesson. And the lesson is always about love. Thanks again, Barbara Thank you so much for this timely message.

I have become familiar with these principles over time and practice facing adversity with appreciation and moving through it with calm. My father passed away last week. Much to work on there as I went through the services, etc. Very notable, though, was yesterday's drive home. The drive from Texas to Colorado takes about 12 hours and I embarked upon it with a clogging fuel filter that had started clogging somewhere along the way of getting to Texas a few days before. I attempted to fix the problem on Sunday, but met with challenges and had to attempt the drive 'as is'. Several hours into my drive yesterday - chug, chug, chug at times - I realized there was a message here for me. I gleaned what I could from the message (which had to do with 'staying on path' and 'slowing down to go faster,') I appreciated what was going on, allowed some intuitive directions to come to mind, acted upon them and resolved the problem relatively quickly and painlessly. I was directed to a particular town, to a particular little tire shop and a particular helpful young man and his father. These men, who where of a totally different ethnic background than mine, welcomed me with open arms, quickly remedied my situation, and charged me very little to accomplish the task. I know from experience that times long past might have found me resisting the problem, getting panicky and totally missing the point and direction that I received yesterday. IThis calm required work on my part, as I witnessed my truck chugging along (38 mph at times in a 75 mph zone) and smoke belching out the back, and not knowing when and how this resolution would come (400 mile tow home? Hotel stay while I wait for the holiday to end and mechanic services to open? The engine totally fails?) I appreciate your writings. This one accidently got deleted this morning, but I was directed to go back and pull it out of the bin. Thank you for this reinforcement of my beliefs. Love, Joy, Peace - Christina Hello, Steve – I agree with you on your article for today.
