Y’know how people sometimes try so hard to make everything go “right” … like according to some preconceived human-notion of what “right” is … which may even be what the general majority of humans would agree is “right”?
 
Well, when we force that, we are really messing with the natural flow and missing these beautiful new opportunities for growth and expansion.

Last week I reached out to a client who had been having some challenges gathering the material she needed to submit to me so that I can build her web site. Photos of the healers, “about us” copy, things like that.

She told me one of the people on the board had been upset with her because she hadn’t gotten it done sooner. And I understand that perspective, I do.

At the same time …

In imperfection lies a precious little gift, all wrapped up with a pink bow and dropped right into our hands.

She told me she typically avoids confrontation and when someone is upset, she doesn’t want to talk to them. In this case, she found it within herself to reach outside her comfort zone and speak to him. She shared her thoughts about what was on her plate at the moment and asked for assistance.

I was so proud of her!

Look at the beautiful opportunity for connection, growth and expansion which presented itself because of the fact that things had not gone the way we human beings would ideally want them to go, in our fictitious “perfect world” … and in fact, it is so very perfect and these opportunities to stretch are so very beautiful!

Know what I mean?
 
When things don’t go as planned, we receive a precious gift, the chance to reach outside our comfort zone and rise to the occasion, expanding with newfound strength. She has received this wonderful playing field in which to practice finding and strengthening her voice.

Life is all about growth and expansion and it will continue to offer us opportunities to grow. Will you accept the gift? All it takes is looking at it as a gift and you’re on your way!
