Affirmation: Every Thing is Working Out For the Highest Good

"All is well in my world, every thing is working out for the highest good. Out of this situation only good can come. I am safe."  So happy to have found this on my Social Media feed.

 

I'm pretty sure almost everyone can relate to having one of those moments (or many moments) in life when it feels like things are spiraling or have spiraled out of control (not a life or death situation--just a "rough moments in life" situation). Without going into detail (because privacy still reigns), a few weeks ago we found ourselves in a mindset of worry--hoping for a favorable outcome to something negative that occurred. It was something fixable, but we were hoping for the simplest path to the solution--but the journey was anxious-filled.

I know there's a saying that worrying is useless and it only makes the person suffer twice, or whatever, but that saying is pointless when you're going through something. Because worrying becomes tangible--you can feel it, it pervades-- and with it comes stress and all that. As a self-described worry-wart, I find myself overthinking about problems and situations and -yes- probably suffering twice, as they say.  How can you stop your mind from worrying? 🤷 Me? I've stopped trying.  I just accept that I worry (a lot), pray through it, meditate--repeat affirmations and hope that we pass through or over the situation relatively unscathed.

Well, to make a long story short, and because I now feel like I can breathe about this particular occurrence, the situation was resolved and life goes on as expected--with forward movement and continued expected challenges. And of course, there will always be future things to worry about...sigh.

Because that's really what life is all about. The journey will never be completely smooth all the time--for anyone--no matter how perfect it all seems to anyone on the outside looking in. When something in life is hard, it's just going to be hard until it passes and then on to more challenges with hopefully much joy sprinkled in between and all throughout.  It really all does come down to how we cope with the downs and how we appreciate and soak in the ups. And hopefully, Universe willing, there are more ups than downs. And whenever we do face those dreaded downs, find an effective affirmation--a personal mantra, if you will--to help with getting through it. Breathe. Hold on to the ones that matter and pray (reflect, meditate) on the the best outcome.  

For all the wonderful amazing moments, I'm thankful. 🙇
