Let's face it, our modern life and world has many extraordinary benefits and freedoms.

On the other side of the coin, we are faced with a variety of challenges to overcome.

Challenges can come through all avenues of our life,
and in numerous forms and sizes

Accept the
unfolding reality

Whatever challenge you are currently facing, is the present reality in your life, whether you like it or not.

Apply Radical Acceptance.

Offer NO
resistance

As this challenging reality arises, don't push back against it or try to make it go away.

Apply Radical Surrender.

See it
as it is

See your challenge for what it is, but don't make it worse. Let it be.

Face this challenge head on.

Now you are ready to find workable solutions
to resolve your challenge

The 'monkey mind' has quietened, resistance to 'what is' has dissipated, your emotions have settled, and you have
accepted the unfolding reality.

Well done, now you are on your
way to a resolution!

The doors of opportunity and choices have swung open,
if only just a little bit!

Explore your options available to you at this moment in time.

Brainstorm your available resources.

Make a list of your options.

Keep your eye on the ball, that is, where you want to be with this challenge and not on the barriers or obstacles.

Consider this: We came into this incarnation to access more of the Consciousness
that we are at the core.

That being the case, what if we at some higher level, attracted this challenge in order to grow, become more aware and to empower ourselves for this moment, and all the moments to follow?
