Look and Listen-Part 4 Self help and development

A lifetime of circumstances, programming and challenges shape the person we are today and the issues we grapple with. These limitations and beliefs need to be recognised, exposed and overcome to free us to journey forward.

The universe guides our lives and offers us constant opportunities to surmount our limitations. The re-occurring challenges and problems, the illnesses and the people we relate with are indicators of the territory we can examine for insight and understanding.

We are provided with signposts and guidance along the way but it is our choice to take notice.

You can begin your observations by focusing on the physical complaints you may currently be enduring. For example, you may have sore feet. Perhaps this represents the way you walk through life at present. Maybe your neck and shoulders are sore or tense - a sign of the burdens you perceive you are carrying.

Relationship difficulties can sometimes mirror the facets of our personality that are holding us back and creating the imbalance that inhibits progress. By identifying the traits that disturb us when confronted by others we recognise the characteristics in ourselves needing to be reformed.

Some informative books on the subject that I recommend are;
"You Can Heal Your Life." by Lousie Hays
"Anatomy Of The Spirit." by Caroline Myss
There are many available but these are a good starting point.

Have you ever prayed for a solution to a difficult problem and then turned on the radio and the words of the song being played gave you the answer? Have you been driving when you saw a business slogan posted on a billboard - that was the solution you were seeking? Or picked up a book in a bookstore and opened to a page that held the significant sentence that gave you an "aha!" moment?

In the same way we receive these communications in answer to our questions, we are faced with situations and circumstances that demonstrate issues and solutions. So look at your life from another perspective and see what stands out.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy!
