How often do we think to celebrate ourselves?

How we started out, where challenges have taken us, how we have overcome, the amount of strength we pulled from, and the fact that we got through it.

Through it all it seems that every new challenge, every dare to soar with Faith, we trip and fall all over again. One of my toughest moments were being deeply moved by blessings spoken, the anticipation of them realizing....and then...nothing, to the point of loss of Hope.

Here is what I have learned! The day is still beautiful, I have all my faculties to think of ways to solve the challenge, I can talk to a Friend or pray, I can meditate....bottom line...I can still do something, and in there possibilities open up. That Door opens which otherwise would remain closed. Our mission should we choose to accept it, is to seek with an open mind that next Door to go through in moving past a challenge laid out before us. While the lessons won't self distract, the next time one comes our way can we say "I gotta go to the Door!"

It is one of the biggest struggles we face...loosing our footing when challenges present themselves. For the sake of inner balance and wise decisions that can follow as consequences...we see, we understand and we conquer...to the point of opening that Door.

~ We have come this far....there is so much more to go, and we got this! ~
