Today I would like to try something a little different and I hope you appreciate what it is I am trying to get across.

There are a number of things that each of you are there to learn but for many of you it remains a mystery of what they might be, so I have thought of a way that may speed that process up a little.  I would like you to think of all the things in your life that give you a level of frustration or irritation and I encourage you to make a list here as I am aware there are likely to be some of you who have a rather long list.  Then I would like you to group them up into groups that you feel are connected, for instance if you have a constant battle with say, money and weight and it is because you are unable to get them off your mind then they would do well to be grouped together, or if perhaps you have a list of people who irritate you then they too would do well to be grouped together.  Then consider what it is that causes the frustration or irritation.  Is it perhaps they cause frustration because you feel unable to understand the situation or maybe you simply cannot stop thinking about something; there may, of course, be any number of reasons for why these particular subjects give you cause for discomfort or frustration.

Pick one group of irritants and spend time thinking about what it is that causes you concern and don’t put the list down until you have an answer.  This bit is important as its easy to feel frustrated with something and just walk away and there is no resolution in doing that.  Sit with what it is that bothers you and think hard about what in that group upsets you.  Some of you may find on reflection that the aspects of the people on the list may remind you of bits of yourself (and you will have to think really hard about this because it is easy to dismiss this due to discomfort or an unwillingness to accept that you may have parts of yourself that are just like those people that you don’t really like).  Or you may well find that, if for instance, you struggle to let something go from your mind then you need to understand that there is something in that subject that needs your attention and if you are giving something too much attention it is not necessarily that subject that is the problem it may well be that the rest of your life requires attention.  Your focus has become too narrow and so if your life were more rounded then the focus of your attention would not be so narrow.  Do you see?  You may also be aware that there is one thing in your life that bothers you a great deal and it is important to consider whether simply stepping away from whatever it is that bothers you is the answer.  Consider this first though; there are instances where you are faced with considerable angst about a particular event in your life and there are times when you are required to move away in order to make yourself a priority and there are also times when you are being given this degree of angst because it is important to step forward and overcome these feelings.  Be straight with yourself and work to understand what it is that is required.  It is very difficult for me to give each of you a direct solution to what it is that bothers you as there are so many different solutions, each of you are so different and it is necessary to find your own solution.  When you do, it will provide you with a skill that will help the next time you find yourself in a situation that requires greater levels of consideration.

Another group that could be added to your list are the things that keep popping up in your life; the types of events that give you cause to think ‘here we go again’.  Within each of these events are opportunities to learn as these are offerings from your guides that you have requested they provide.  Each time these present it is important to respond in a different way to the last time as there is a specific response required and once you have managed to respond in the required way that particular scenario will no longer present to you, so you see it is very much in your best interest to keep responding in different ways despite the feelings of discomfort for being outside of your comfort zone.

I hope this entry gives you cause to consider how it is possible to ease the struggles within your life as the answers are, one way or another, within you.  It is up to you to spend time considering how its possible to overcome these struggles and I hope I have given you some clues to make that happen.
