Never be embarrassed to struggle. There is absolutely no shame in working hard to get to where you want to be.

Have you ever struggled, or are you now struggling?

Independent of whether or not this was a direct result of your own actions or circumstances beyond your control, as you dig deeper into the stories of others, you will discover that almost everyone has gone through, or will go through, struggles at some point in their life.

It is the human experience, and appears inescapable, predicated upon myriad variables that an average life encounters over the course of time.

When we are going through it, and others are seemingly gliding through their own lives, it gives us a pause for concern, and leaves us feeling to some degree or another, less than that which we have inspired to become.

In those moments of working through whatever it is that has brought such a large degree of conflict to our lives, we cannot help but wonder if there is any respite awaiting us at a later date.

To the extent that, we have control over a majority of circumstances that will befall us, the opportunity to see our pathway out of the struggle, and into safe harbor could not be more important.

This visionary capability enables us to utilize imagination and project how readily achievable our delivery from this struggle will become. In this state of self hypnosis, we are more readily capable of myopically focusing on solutions at hand or solutions that might be achievable, if we were to fully employ our internal resources to their best use.

Awakening to the realization that there is a pathway beyond that with which we are currently coping, facilitates our ability to bolster our internal perspectives with promises of new chapters, in which that with which we are struggling, has been vacated in favor of much more favorable life experiences.

The next time you are going through a chapter in which you are struggling, take solace in the promise that you are capable of making to yourself that you will harness all resources at your disposal to such an effective degree as to matriculate out of your problems and into your greatest successes.

On St. Patrick’s Day, we celebrate luck, and luck comes from being fully prepared when opportunity strikes.

Happy Sunday!
