Too many people seem to think that they go to school, get an education, pass all the tests and the rest should be easy. Unfortunately that thought process is false. The whole of life from the moment of conception to the moment of death is a learning process and somewhere in between we suffer from the growing pains and trials. Our growth process is comprised of a series of creative ideas, skills and talents and a lot of determination and right choices.

I believe we are always in the state of becoming. We go in one direction, follow a path which ultimately will lead to another path way and door. We are constantly opening and closing doors and that is the way it should be.

During my lifetime, there have been some roads that I've traveled that weren't easy or comfortable yet in the end I realized that they were needed for me to travel so that I could get to a better place, a better experience that was waiting to be revealed to me. I have discovered that if I want to enjoy inner peace and contentment, I needed to let go of those experiences or obstacles that were holding me back so that I would be able to grow and soar.

If you are a seeker of greater joy and happiness then you, too, must be open and willing to release the past, forgive all those who have done you wrong and forgive yourself, too, for the emotional baggage that has weighed you down and slowed down your progress. Too many people love holding on to their old ways because they are comfortable, familiar and feel safe yet once you become vulnerable and open to new possibilities, you soon realize and discover that all that old stuff was only wearing you down, making you sick and unhappy and most of all stopping you from realizing your best life yet. I often wonder why we fight so hard to hold onto the old when the freedom of realizing the new is liberating and fulfilling.

I encourage you to make time for yourself to reflect on your process of life and begin to examine the direction that it is taking. Are you on the right path or are you fighting change, the process and the journey that has been designed for your highest and best good and in the highest and best way? I have said often: "We all make choices daily-some are positive and healthy and others cause us to suffer. I encourage you to choose wisely!
