Be Careful What You Ask For

In our journey to become who we were meant to be, we often times ask for help. For most of us, it's our understanding that the universe gives us only what we can handle. But the dilemma occurs when what we think we can handle and what the universe gives us may be quite different. It's in our nature to create scenarios in our minds as to what kind of help we will be given and how we will then help others. But what we actually receive from the universe may leave us wondering what exactly did we ask for because it's not what we had in mind. To teach us patience, we may be put in frustrating situations. To teach us compassion, we may be presented with personal hardship so that we have empathy towards others. So as we go through our own challenges, know that somewhere in the midst of the chaos, the universe is still flowing through us, helping us to become who we were meant to be. Today, acknowledge and give thanks to everyone who is there to help and guide you on your path. It's true that you may not know exactly where you are headed, but know that you are where you are supposed to be. So in the future, be careful for what you ask for because you will definately get it.
If I could be anywhere, this is where I'd like to be...

(It's funny but I never really thought about the consequences of asking the universe to help me in my journey to help others. But receiving the gift to see the ugliness that lies within people is not something that I would have chosen. I think I need to be more specific next time or maybe there is a return policy on gifts.)
