Life's Unexpected Surprises

Sometimes life brings us unexpected surprises that turn our calm life upside down. The confusion may last for only a day or may seem as if it will never end. How quickly we adapt to the situation at hand, depends on how grounded and stable our spirit is. For some of us, we are quick to assess and address the problem. When we understand that we have no control over what has happened, we can then move forward with confidence. For those who struggle to keep their heads barely afloat amongst the chaos, they believe that all of life's woes are directed at them and are used to seeing themselves as part of the problem. Although our journey is unique, know that we all walk the path of the unknown. It's how we approach the unknown that is important. Today, trust that your inner spirit will guide you through the chaos. Know that you deserve to live a life of compassion.  Embrace life, even the unexpected surprises.    
As difficult as it may be to climb, these steps are so beautiful...
