I emerge from the comfort of my cozy covers grateful for the plethora of ways that my life feels unsure and unpredictable. I am thankful that my past vision of my future shattered like a fragile, hand-held mirror crashing on the hard, unyielding tile.
Long-held illusions smash loudly when they fall away. Yet everything we experience or believe is temporary. I feel heartened to see my more empowered and proactive perspectives have replaced my earlier restrictive beliefs.
As I chart unknown waters on my surfboard of life, I occasionally fall, tumbling and spinning in the dark, cold currents. Invariably, my inner strength and never-ending resilience support me in clinging to and climbing back aboard. Then I continue my paddle forward with a renewed focus and faith.
In the past, unexpected shifts tended to evoke an unwelcome and fear-based response. I occasionally cowered in the safety of my bed, with comforting blankets pulled tightly around my head. My uncertainty and anxiety felt debilitating. I sought the opinions of countless others, while not turning inward to seek the guidance of my inner wisdom.
Now I firmly trust that new openings always emanate from endings, like the grass emerging from the rubble of the burnt forest. When I courageously release what I thought I knew for certain, new possibilities emerge.
I rest in the assurance that the Universe supports me in the midst of the turbulent tides of my life. I am divinely guided and protected. I am never alone. I have nothing to fear. With an open mind and heart, I will paddle through the waves of life to unfold the mysteries and magic of my journey.
Even with this knowing, I observe myself having physical reactions when external conditions change rapidly. I maintain my focus on the horizon. I allow time to rest. I give thanks for the rhythm of my breath and the beating of my heart.
I allow myself to anchor to my intuitive senses. I patiently discern the deep internal insights that inform me. I may not know how the tide will change, but I feel assured of my safety. As the new landscape emerges, I feel confident of my ability to navigate securely.
I relax in the tempo of the waters of life, floating in the currents that endlessly ebb and flow. The storms of life create tides that appear alternately raging and calm.
However, I am filled with anticipation for what lies ahead and the new panorama that will arise. I am centered in uncertainty, yet guided by conviction. All is well!
