“The more you struggle to hold on to what has gone, the more you will suffer”

Lately the world has successfully provided a multitude of negative reports pinning you helplessly in place. It seems every day brings another word of doom & financial destruction. This sudden & merciless disaster has changed your life forever and you acutely feel the voices of discontent from the collective weighing in on you. However, there’s nowhere to go but up at this point. Despite what the world would like to tell you, all is not completely lost. There is hope on the horizon. News of a break, a turning point and a promise of the Light returning -although it’s not here just yet. Meanwhile, internally you are struggling with the stress of managing excessive misfortunes being thrown at you from all sides- at least, it sure feels that way. You have been observing your mounting debts & perhaps evaluating which bill you should take care of at the expense of the others. You had to watch all that you tried to achieve & grow for yourself dwindle away (401k, savings, stock portfolios, possibly health).  Prospects rotted on the vine and there was a loss of steady work/ clients. All growth halted. You may be struggling to get a good idea on where you stand financially as you’re not able to gain vision for the long term in regard to this. So, you just stress the drain & fear you have lost control. Yeah, it feels really crappy right now. 

Again, all is not completely lost & what you still have can sustain you as you move on. Honor the sadness that this situation has created as you come to realize what’s done is done. You’ll not be able to recover what you lost in its entirety but soon things will improve & you’ll be able to build again. Certainly grieve but don’t hang out there because the self-pity will cripple you. We find suffering when we rigidly dictate what our futures must look like. Be more flexible to what life gives us along the path. There will be new possibilities & prospects opening up to you in the days ahead that you cannot see right now. Brighter days are coming for us.
