Sometimes no matter how hard you are working to create the dreams, desires and intentions of your life, things just start to go wrong. Not one thing, but multiple things. Not small things, but big things. How do you stem the tide of these disappointments or discouragements? How do you keep going when you feel you are losing energy? You have to rely on two very important elements. WISDOM and GRATITUDE!

Life always supports you. However to understand that you have to know a few things. Things like this. You are in the middle of working something out and things look good. You are excited because it is something you have wanted for a long time. You are in the process of sliding into home base and score when things turn into a HOT MESS! What happened. How could what was going so right all of a sudden be going so wrong?

The first thing I say to you is 'Dont get your panties in a bunch!" Take a minute and step back. You already know that everything always works out for good. So first and foremost don't get trapped into fear-filled, frustrated, negative thinking. That will take you exactly where you do not want to go.

Despite how you may be feeling focused on what is going on right now, muster up the strength and discipline to gain control of your thoughts and only focus on the picture of you winning. The picture of you in joy over your victory acquiring your goal is filled with enough energy to help you get over this rough spot. Don't give in to momentary fretting. Stay strong and you will get to the very place of success you have been working toward. An added bonus is how good you will feel about yourself and your ability to be in control of your emotions and your thoughts.

Another road to your success when you are out of sorts in your process, choose to be in gratitude for what you do have. This first off takes your mind off of your current situation or dilemma and aims you toward thoughts that generate positive emotions and energy. Once your thoughts are redirected to the good in your life, it becomes easier to stay there since it is reminding you of all that is right in your life. The energy from gratitude then becomes fuel for even a greater good. Because when you are thankful for what you have, the universe will give you more. Gratitude is a stating of your understanding of faith and promise. You are actively relaying to the universe thankfulness and appreciation for the love you are shown and for all you believe about the Creative Process.

So the next time when there is an obstacle in the road on your way to your desire, call on your wisdom and gratitude to springboard you over and through what could be a tough time but turns out to be the perfect practice to you being a great driver of your thoughts and emotions. Because doesn't practice make perfect?
