At a crossroads

You may have arrived at a crossroads.  You may sense unresolved issues inside.  They will invite reasons to forgive.  Search your heart.  Unloading emotional burden will trigger positive change.

Losses you experience may leave emotional scars.  You may have been cheated in a business deal and lost huge sums of money.  Perhaps you were lied to, abandoned in a relationship, or prevented from being promoted because of deception around you.  Maybe a friend betrayed you. You may be mistreated, criticized or harmed.  You may wonder what happens next? As hard as it may be to believe, you're going to emerge better off than before.  You're passing another test.  This is a learning process.

The thing to do is not to stoop to the level of people who have wronged you.  Nonetheless, keep doing the right thing.  Respond to your situation with love.  To improve yourself is to learn to control your emotions.  Don't give into temptation to avenge offenders.  Regardless of whether people say nasty things about you, believe your have purpose.  It pays to retain self-control.

In order to understand, realize you need not have to fix or even react to everything.  You have no reason to pay someone back for whatever wrong might've been done.  Rather than try to manipulate the situation in your favor, learn to step back and refocus your energies productively.  You can renew and strengthen parts of yourself.  You have the choice to transform your life.   The crossroads is an opportunity.
