Hi my friend, how are you? I hope your day was beautiful. Not all the days are rosy here for me. Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful for all I have, and I have so many beautiful things to be grateful for. I am grateful for my health and health of the people I love, I am grateful for my amazing family and my beautiful furry baby, Hero. I am grateful for the awareness and courage to explore my deepest dreams. But my friend, some days like this, when I see the doors I hoped to open to me still closed, I struggle to maintain the positivity. Today, was one of those days. They say to maintain its balance, when universe closes a door to you, another door will open. When I see the closed doors, I struggle to see the door that is now open. And I know I am not being patient. Because you need to give it the time it needs and be open to the new possibilities. I ask the universe what I am supposed to learn from a failed attempt? You see my friend, sometimes universe puts amazing opportunities in front of me, and I do my best to grab them. I take the steps to grab those opportunities without success. Failure after failure. Looking at these attempts as failures make me sad and I can’t afford it. My friend, I am trying a new technique: when they say “no” you say “next”. Just keep going. I am trying to see failures as an opportunity to learn something and grow: maybe I need to try harder, maybe I need to roll up my sleeves and do more ground work. I noticed that I rely too much on others to make my dream a reality and that I need to be more proactive in making things happen. Am I afraid to rely on myself? These are enlightening questions and to succeed into making my vision a reality I have to learn to do all the heavy lifting myself and not to rely on others. I am going to practice that, my friend. Hope this insight helps you too. For now, take care of yourself.
