January 30

 

Good morning! Today is an amazing day and I am going to make it just that. Something wonderful is going to happen today and I can't wait to see what it is! Each and every one of us goes through struggles, whether it is a struggle like growing like the butterfly or something else, it meant to teach us a lesson and help us grow into the person we are meant to be.  We may want help or to help someone else on their journey, but like the butterfly above, that help isn't always meant for us to accept. There are some things that we need to do on our own to learn the lesson and achieve the right end results. These struggles help teach us that we sometimes need the hard times in order to grow and learn to fly on our own. 

I've struggled with many things in my life. Growing up, I never had to study in school. The information just came to me on test day. Now I'm studying for the CPA exam and I actually have to study. This information isn't just coming to me like it used in high school and college. I've failed 4 parts because I didn't study correctly. It took those 4 parts for me to learn what I need to do to study correctly to pass this exam. I've studied differently for each part and I'm hoping I finally get a passing score here on my 5th part soon to have it all finally come together that I've learned what I need to do to study correctly and retain the right information to be able to answer the questions being asked on test day. 

Now it's YOUR Turn to Reflect on This:

Do you accept your struggles that come up or do you fight them and take longer to learn the lessons that are trying to come through? What is the latest struggle that you have had? Write in your journal about this experience. What were you supposed to learn from this latest struggle? What did you learn? What do you still have to learn? What can you do differently next time something like this comes up? Reflect on other struggles you've had in your life and what you can do learn the lessons now or in the future.

Today's Affirmation:

I accept lovingly all struggles that are coming to me and I am working through them each and every day. I am becoming a better me and learning new lessons. Life is amazing and I love my life!
