Everything exists in the world, the good and the bad; what exists in your world you have attracted to yourself by your attention to it. You change your experience only by changing your perception about it, never by trying to change what appears bad into something good. Even if you manage it this time, your perception, which hasn't changed, will just start searching for something else that is bad.
When we see things happening we don't like, resist, or are afraid of, let's step back into our true spiritual identity where there is no judgment of anything. Only our human identity perceives a situation as a threat to itself, not seeing the larger picture where whatever unpleasantness is happening will ultimately turn out to be a blessing. Short-term, there may be pain and suffering; but what about in a year, 5 years, 10 years from now? The ego can't see that far, but when you get to 10 years hence and look back, you will say That's the best thing that could have happened, without that I wouldn't be where I am now! Allow that thought when actually in the crisis, and a lot of the suffering will be gone in the now.
We have been living with ourselves non-stop since we came into physical existence, but how well do we really know ourselves? How much do we know about the purpose of incarnating as a human being? And even those questions assume that we had an existence before becoming a person, and that the Being that we were had a purpose in dressing up in a physical suit and becoming visible. Finding that purpose is critical if we are to live a happy and fulfilled life. What would make us happy now? Certainly something different than when we were three, sixteen, twenty-five, or your age now; your desires have evolved concurrently with the evolution of your mind and body. You have become more conscious of what is really important.
Our thoughts especially when backed by our feelings, are more powerful than we realize. This is true whether our thoughts are positive, or negative ones. We would like our life to be happy and easy, and so must be watchful of where we put our attention most of the time. Is it on the conflicts, or disasters that we see on the news, or on the kindness, assistance and support shown by people, and the healing and rejuvenation the planet is experiencing? Keeping our thoughts on the positive may appear a challenge, but is a blessing in disguise, an opportunity to create a new world that works for the highest good of all.
It does seem difficult, when we're in the middle of a war, a financial crisis, a health crisis or even a personal crisis of whatever kind, to take the stand that this is ultimately going to be for my highest good, and potentially, also for the good of those around us and sometimes, even for the good of whole communities or nations. If we are willing to look, we will find countless examples of this; so be willing to gratefully allow what can't be changed, have the strength to change the things that can be, and have the wisdom to discern which is which.
Everything that happens in life is a question of our perception of it, and each one of us has a different vantage point from which we look at an event. That is why two people having the same experience, or looking at the same event, can have a totally different description of it, and feeling about it. If we started using different language about what is happening, we could also start shifting our perception and feelings about it; that would inevitably mean having a higher frequency, which in turn leads to having access to a higher set of choices to make. Then choosing the highest one would be the first step towards a solution of the problem we have now called an adventure!
Freedom is a state of mind, not something that can be taken away from you, or that can be given to you. It requires you to first, be very clear on what you really and truly want, which is not necessarily what you say you want. Then establish your priorities and make the choices in life that are congruent with those priorities. Your surface priorities may often change, but the deeper ones, that have to do with life purpose and life path, rarely do. Be attached to your true priorities, not to the "wants "of the physical self.
What we want today may not be what we will want tomorrow, so looking at what we truly value and who we want to become as we grow and evolve is one of the most important things to reflect on and determine. Natural evolution has taken the human race as far as it can, and we are now asked to consciously collaborate with that evolution so we can reach a dimensional shift that will catapult us into something unknown and unprecedented.
We all have things to forgive, but often it's difficult to do and sometimes, we actually resist even the idea of it. We also need to be forgiven for things, and unless we forgive, we can't be forgiven. When we realize that most of our reasons for not forgiving are a misunderstanding of what forgiveness is, or simply not true, it suddenly becomes much easier and the liberation experienced is an encouragement to keep it up.

Our feelings are much more powerful than our words when it comes to fulfilling our desires; and we must also bear in mind that what we say doesn't always match the feelings in our body. This is why so often, mantras that we say over and over again don't work; either the feelings we hold contradict them, - and feelings are more powerful than words! - or we're simply repeating the words like a parrot, without any consciousness to back them up. It's our feelings of blame, frustration, or anger towards any part of life, including ourselves, that is holding your desires at bay.
