13 things to do in DIFFICULTY
When life gets tough, here are some things that can make a difference:
1. From the deepest part of you, open your heart and ask for
help from those around you and from Heaven.
2. Sit quietly a moment. Imagine yourself in God's arms being
held and loved. Open your mind and experience the peace of God.
3. Whatever the issue, take the long view. Look at the Big
Picture. See this in the context of this month, the year, the decade,
your whole life, from your soul's perspective of learning, healing,
and your purpose.
4. Look at this time right now from the view of your eternal
spirit. Understand that the biggest crises can be the biggest births.
Vision can open for you now if you realize that it is possible. A new
and better way can begin.
5. Trust that it will all turn out for the very best. Trust
works paradoxically. It takes the worst situations and begins to
unfold them, so that everything turns out in the best possible way.
6. Recognize what you could give to make the situation better.
Give it wholeheartedly.
7. No matter how bad things are, someone is in greater need of
help. Ask yourself who that is. As you reach out to help them, the
problem, or a layer of it if it is chronic, will dissolve. Don't deny
your problem. Just don't let it stop you from responding to a
greater call for help. You and the person helped will both be moved
into a flow. If you are in major crises or a chronic problem, you can
give through it to each person that comes to your mind and respond to
them till the problem dissolves.
8. Forgive yourself. Forgive everyone in the situation. Forgive
your partner, your parents, and God. It is grievances that stop the
miracles.
9. Appreciation generates flow. Call or visit three people to
tell them what you specifically appreciate about them.
Write a letter to a former teacher, coach, friend, or
family member to let them know how much you appreciate them.
Make a list of what you appreciate in your life, what you
appreciate about your partner or the closest person to you. Make a
list of what you appreciate about yourself.
10. However distracting or involving, the situation that is
plaguing you hides a major gift. Be curious about what that is. Do
not stop till you know and embrace it. This situation is merely a
defense to hide the gift. If you embrace the gift, the defense will
dissolve.
11. Choose the best possible outcome, and put the power of your
mind behind It. Set your mind, and do not stray from this course.
Keep faith in this, as otherwise you will pay for putting your faith
in anything less than success.
12. In spite of your fear and anxiety, calm yourself down,
center yourself and listen. You can ask your higher mind to center
you. Each time you do this, you will become successively more
peaceful. The answer is already within you. All you need do is
listen within yourself for it. The more peaceful you are, the more
the answer becomes an immediate solution.
13. Ask for a miracle!
