“We can begin to understand our purpose in life when we take the time to dwell upon certain concepts of life, whether about ourselves or about others.

Life lessons can be quite hard to take at times, difficult to endure and difficult to remember, difficult to live through, difficult to see through … but they are all part of the journey that each person must live.

How a person decides to see life, to observe, register and make decisions that are based on their experiences can range from being fun to being miserable, from being an adventure or something unsurmountable that crushes the spirit. Each person chooses their stance and each must bear the consequences of their choices.

Every action we take is a building block to our next day of existence. An uplifted heart will bring uplifted days in the future and vice-versa. There are many outcomes. We human beings often feel powerless in the face of what befalls us, but this is where we have the most power. . . and that power comes in the form of thought-building.

The attitude we take and the thoughts that follow will be the very steps that lead us down, or up, or forward. Those very thoughts will lead us to a selection of doors to walk through on the adventure of our spiritual growth. For example, we might choose to retaliate against someone who has harmed us personally through spite. If we do, then we are likely mirroring the same spiteful attitude the person approached us with. We return hurt for hurt and the scenario continues. That is one possible avenue of response.

Another possible scenario would be to understand as best we can the reason for the person’s behavior and chose not to mirror it. That choice will take us in the opposite direction and lead us to further, quite different adventures. This is not difficult to understand – it simply takes a moment to foresee and calculate which adventure we wish to experience.

Some choices open doors while others close doors. It is important to understand that a closed door is its own kind of adventure. Nonetheless, choosing to view our life as an adventure can be quite uplifting and can guide our thoughts towards making those choices that give us the adventures best suited to our spiritual growth.

Let us listen to the heart for guidance. It is our guiding voice. Understand that difficulty is sometimes exactly the measure needed to produce moments of conscious expansion. Let us take note of our choices with purposeful intent and experiment with observing the outcomes of our chosen actions. Surely our perceptions will change as the power of discrimination grows and filters the differences. We need not hold the world on our shoulders. It is far better to open our experience to the whole world and allow our spiritual perception to advance our view.”
