Beyond Assumptions

"Every morning, I remind myself

I can make the choice to make

myself feel good."

Louise Hay

The importance of monitoring our actions and our thoughts is to become aware of our tendency to automatically judge.  We make decisions without appropriate information and too easily categorize any challenge as a negative experience.  It is important to inquire beyond assumptions and explore what lies beyond whatever is appearing as a deal breaker.

Instead of jumping ahead to determine who is at fault so we can place blame, use the energy to see the connection between personal growth and opportunity.  We advance when we are able to connect the dots between what stands in front of us and what we long to learn.

When we get stuck in our physical, emotional, or spiritual pain, we miss the opportunity to use our challenge to enhance the larger picture of life.  We can choose to look beyond the negative contents to imagine what positive outcomes can be created.  We have choice in deciding how to perceive the unfolding of our lives.
