There’s a tendency to think that as we grow spiritually life will stop being so challenging.  I’ve come to realize that’s a fantasy.  It’s not going to happen – at least not in the way that I think.

What I can tell you is that over the last many decades of my life it feels much easier to me.  I still have challenges, many challenges, but they’re not threatening to me.  They don’t worry me or scare me.  

The challenges that face me aren’t about figuring anything out and having better strategies.  I have long learned that if I’m trying to figure out something it’s because I’m viewing the situation from my ego rather than my Higher Holy Spirit Self.  When I’m ego-identified then I’ll always be in the dark, trying to figure things out because I’m not in touch with the Wisdom that is my true nature.

When I’m opening my mind to insight, intuition and the infinite intelligence, then whatever answers I need will be given.  Ask and it is given.

Decades ago my challenges were very intense for me.  I was worried and fearful.  I felt in adequate to my challenges.

Now, there’s very little intensity, I feel loved and supported by the Universe because I choose to be loving and supportive – the Universe reflects it back to me.  I feel safe because I’m not harboring things against others, I AM safe.

In a very real sense, my challenges are bigger now than they’ve ever been, but they bother me less than they ever have and that is simply because of one thing:  

I choose to live a life of Love rather than fear and I apply it to all aspects of my life.

You can love only as God loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no love apart from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will have no idea what love is like.  No one who condemns a brother can see himself as guiltless and in the peace of God.  A Course in Miracles

For me, it’s so important and valuable to be able to model the efficacy of living by spiritual principle and not just talk about it.  Walking the talk, living the Love, that’s what I focus on.

I AM walking the talk and living the Love every day in every way!  

My life is the life of God and it’s a blessed life I live!
