There are times when we find ourselves overwhelmed with seemingly endless challenges.  Fears can even conspire to surface doubts and feelings of inadequacy.  The multitude of demands, expectations and concerns creates a scenario where logic tells you there is no way out.  You question not how will you make it but how horribly will this end.

This questioning reflects a sense of doom where our fears have so colored our perceptions, that regardless of how poor or ideal the situation, we have predestined a bad ending.  It is important we realize that we are not powerless.  Understanding your ability to shape your situation and exert some level of control is key to seeing through these challenging periods.  This awareness gives you sufficient hope to look at the situation differently.

Take a step back and see the bigger picture.  Recalling your previous tough times the current situation takes on a different light and the circumstances are not as daunting.  Remember other moments when you did not have a clue how you would make it.  While the solution was not initially apparent the eventual outcome often resulted in life changing positive memories that can still be treasured.  This experience helps you see clearer and not allow your fears to eclipse the opportunities held in every situation.

The question is not whether the situation is insurmountable.  It is not do we have the resources, power, and time to make this end well.  The question is do you believe?  If you possess a consuming sense of purpose then you will see how to weave that experience into your life in such a way that it brings you closer to your dream.  Regardless of the color, you will see what is happening as positive threads that can be used to create a deeper contrast and vibrancy to our collective existence.

Believing means there is no such thing as failure or wasted effort.  Every moment brings with it a choice and an opportunity to celebrate, share and give thanks.  There is value in everything that is in your life.  You are called to realize this value and build on it.  In this process you become a part of the solution.  For your dream to come true all you need to do is believe.
