| My dear friend,
Last Tuesday, May 1st, was my birthday and I can say it has been quite a ride for 48 years.
That's why I invite you today to look at your life in a different perspective, look at it as an experience with different lessons, different gifts and always try to look for the beauty in all of it.
When we can live without expectations, not wanting to control how our life looks like, not wanting to control our circumstances or the people around us, we become free.
This does not mean that we cannot have dreams, at the contrary, of course we can dream of a better life, a life full of purpose and passion, but it starts with our attitude, our commitment and our faith.
Our life is like sailing on the sea, we cannot choose whether the sea will be calm or stormy, but we can choose the direction. If we want to control the weather conditions, we feel powerless, and so it is in our lives, we cannot choose the circumstances but we can choose how we deal with it.
No matter how stormy your life may be right now, keep sailing, a rough sea makes you a skilled sailor, makes you grow. Complaining about the difficult conditions will get you nowhere.
See the gift in every situation, see how it is each time an opportunity to grow your soul, to strengthen who you are, to increase your self-confidence and reveal your power.
As always, loving you so much, Barbara.
