Standing Strong


There are moments when I want to shrink away from relationships and situations that challenge me or hold out potential pain.  It would be easy to hide out with superficiality or cut off connection to avoid the tough stuff that threatens me.  However, I then miss out on the gift the universe is extending to me.  Every challenge I have faced so far has brought with it an invaluable lesson or preciousness of experience that touches my heart deeply.  Often it takes time and perspective to understand and appreciate it.  But it always comes eventually.

 

Today I draw upon the courage within me to step into the unknown and remain open to potential struggle.  I will not run away or shirk.  I will stand with bold compassion and kind heartedness towards myself and others.  I trust that the strength and wisdom I require will flow.  I choose to allow this day to be another handprint on my heart.
