Hello Friends,
I just wanted to encourage you today to remind you of that saying when one door closes another door opens.
The No's are God's protection.
Maybe you can relate to this...as far as I have experienced a lot of door closes, my divorce, becoming a single Mom of 5 when my youngest was just 3 months old, being laid off of jobs and not getting approved for a house because I was a single Mom and the list goes on and on.
And I remember the devastation I felt when each of those doors closed. I remember letting those times effect my confidence and just feeling like such a failure and weak.
And in turn it fueled all my limiting beliefs and all my self sabotage right?
And now when one door closes I look for the blessing on the other side.
Everything happens for a reason, right? But sometimes we may not see it in the moment.
And this is what I teach my clients how to say ok this happened and be able to shift out of that and say Ok now what?
What new possibilities are opening up for me since this has happened and how is this a blessing in disguise.
And what I teach my clients, is that it's
just a choice of interpretation.
We can either choose a disempowered interpretation or we can choose an empowered interpretation.
Things that happen in your life that may not feel so good at the time that they happen they can be a blessing if we choose to look for the blessing.
And yes bad times and hard times never stay they always come to pass.
So if you are in a situation where something has happened in your life and your first interpretation is "This is awful" I want to challenge you today to stop and get grounded and open your mind to the possibility to look for the good in it.
Whether it is loosing a job, being terminated or getting laid off OR
if it is hearing bad news about a loved one and their health OR if it is just feedback from someone that you did not want to hear.
Know this all things work for the good of those who trust and have faith.
Know this that all things will change and it could be the best thing that happened to you. You may not know it or see it or feel it right now.
And you can change your mess into a message you can change your test into a testimony and change your trial into a triumph.
If you choose Peace, Choose Gratitude and Choose Joy and Choose Love and you will start to feel a shift in your outlook.
You can either let things sink you or make you swim towards better things. That sink or swim phrase often used.
You can Freeze, Fall or Run.
You can freeze up and be in shock or You can Fall meaning you let the situation take control of your emotions and you sink into despair and depression OR
You can Run in another direction that is going to get you closer to your goals.
The beautiful thing is we get to choose.
We get to choose how it makes us feel.
When something happens we may feel sad or mad or angry that is totally normal. And we can also choose to feel that pain in that moment, cry, yell or scream and release it. So that we can remove it from our minds and then choose to look for all the things we are grateful for.
And this is what I teach my clients. I teach emotional intelligence.
We get to be in control of our emotions.
That does not mean we do not feel it. Yes we get to feel it,
feel the pain,
feel the sadness,
feel the fear,
feel the aggravation.
Then we can get grounded and change it.
And if this is where you get stuck, if this is where you get to a point and then you park and you would like to learn more about emotional intelligence and learn how to push through those over whelming feelings so that you can produce better results reach out to me so I can show you a better way.
Life is Now!
Be Blessed!
