Just Show Up - All You Ever Need Will Be Given to You

I am here to be truly helpful. I am here to represent Him Who sent me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
A Course in Miracles

You may have heard the stories of a woman who lifted cars or fought polar bears to rescue her children. You may be able to resonate with them as you probably also have done some pretty incredible things when the situation demanded it. Yet, in ordinary situations many of us are unable to overcome our limitations. Why is that?

The Tao is always there ready to help and give you the ability and strength to deal with whatever it is that comes your way. But you have to believe in yourself and the workings of the Tao first. That is actually not so hard to do. If once or twice you have stumbled your way successfully to the solution of a problem with the help of the Tao, you soon realize that everyone and everything is here to help you succeed. This includes your many friends as well as the few so-called enemies. Everything and everyone is here to make you to the one you were born to be. Whenever you show up to cope with a problem at hand, a solution will be just around the corner. Just trust that you are here now for a reason and that He who brought you here will also show you the next door that opens for you.

Perhaps you should think about the problems and interferences that come your way differently from now on. It is the problems that define you, it is the inescapable issues that make you feel alive as you tackle them head-on. Thank your challenges because they make you the person you were born to be. So who needs whom, does your problem require you or do you need your problem? You can observe for yourself that whenever you are ready to take on some responsibility you will always have access to the strength you need and - magically - all the guidance that you require will be just around the corner. It is like the whole universe is cooperating with you when you are willing to put your best foot forward. However, whenever you run away from your problems or procrastinate, the nagging voices will only intensify over time and life will suck all the energy out of you. Just show up in life and receive the grace that is yours to claim.
