The spiritual purpose for your experiences is to allow you to accept opportunities that you would otherwise dismiss.
- The way you see the world colors how you see yourself within the world and consequently what you can offer the world.
Surrendering means letting go of your need to control everything and everyone at all times.
- Choose one area that makes you especially anxious – financial security, martial stability, career direction – and every time your fears are triggered, practice the mantra “I surrender the outcome to the Divine.”
We often resist change because we fear that an empowered life will demand more of us than we are prepared to give.
- The cycle of “knowing better but active otherwise” is the most common form of psychological torment that we experience when we fight our own spiritual growth.
- Patterns of fear are greater at night and smaller in the morning, so before going to bed, bring to mind what is limiting you the most.
- “What part of my psyche feels like a puppet on a string?”
- Remind yourself that this is an experience that you are meant to use to examine why you fear your own potential.

to discover (something lost, forgotten, or ignored) again : unveiling
Each of us must walk in the desert at some point, because only we can discover the gifts of our own spirit.
- We aren’t meant to solve all the mysteries in our life, of course. Rather, we are meant to explore the mysteries and discover ourselves one piece of our spirit at a time.
- Gradually we become whole, more conscious, more aware that life is a spiritual journey and everything else is make-believe.
- Life is meant to be a mystery, and we will never be able to make it a logical adventure.
- But we can interpret the clues that the hand of God leaves on our path.
All growth occurs in stages, and spiritual development is no exception.
- Yet sometimes we are not even aware that we have passed from one stage to the next until sometime afterward.
- We develop faith and other abilities in stages, and our progress becomes most obvious in midlife.
