Surprise?

There are many things in life that surprise us. They can be very simple like a greeting from an old acquaintance or friend. The can also be very complex like something aligning in a way that you could not have imagined to open new doors of opportunity for us. Then there are those times in life that things just happen & they are of no surprise to us.

These instances can be good & sometimes they can seem bad to us. The common factor that I have found in life with these events is that if you look deep enough, or sometimes even shallow enough, is that they do work out for the best for us in the long run. I see both instances as opportunities for us to stand up straight & declare who we are & who we will be. Whether they seem good or bad, is not so much to focus on as the opportunity they provide us with to confirm who we are on the inside.

We all go through good times & times when we feel weak. These times either energize us & make us feel right or they show us where we may have been wrong & show us what we need to change to get back on track. Personally, I have tried to see the good in both types of situation. I embrace the good & bad, because I know that either way they are helping me grow into who I am on the inside & who I want everyone to see that I am outside.

I guess it may not seem very deep so much as it may seem to be a simple observation of myself. I do feel that many times it can be hard to see the good in times when we feel that what we are going through or is happening to us is bad. I just wanted to write this as encouragement to those who may have a hard time noticing that things that may seem bad can & will work out for good if we can just see & learn the lessons that they were meant to teach us. Whether you are going through something that seems good or bad, I just encourage you to take a step away from the situation & see things from a different perspective. If you act with integrity & courage, ensuring that your actions reflect the person you really are inside, than you will be stronger, wiser, & an overall better person. In those bad times, if you have a hard time seeing the light just remember that you are worthy of good things & things will work in your favor in perfect timing & it is okay to not know what that is. Peace, LOVE, & Happiness to you all!!!

Bless You!
