Character Building

Accurate Perception & Correct Expression

* Positive Aspect: Discernment - using what you have as a foundation.

* Negative Aspect: lack of vision

Make sure that while looking for new things,

you don't lose the great ones you already have

When lemons are falling from heaven, learn to prepare lemonade!

One day a man was in a great location, a beach with great waves and a great view to see the sunset. The sun was already coming down when he departed from the beach in hopes to find a better place to take great pictures with such golden light. He was aware that time was running short, and as he drove along the coast he passed by different turnouts and view points that would have allowed him to fulfill his goal, yet, he got caught up into traveling a longer distance to get to an unknown place... and, of course... the sun set. No pictures, no great sunset, instead just more driving, and frustration: He was right there in a great spot, he was at the right place, at the right time, and yet decided to move on, attempting to make it even better, losing what had been already given to him: the gift of NOW.

Why look for something better when you have something great with you?

Often we lose focus on what we really want to accomplish, what we need or must do; confused and indecisive about what to do in life, we forget about what we are already doing: we even forget the many blessings we already have, and in our striving to go get other things, we lose them. As an example, some are in a job situation that offers them not only great financial opportunities, but the challenge to breakthrough and achieve the heights they dream of. And yet, they put their energy into other projects, risking loss of what has already been given. Some don't see the blessings and gifts that come along, let's say they have a lemon plantation-and that's the only thing they have, and yet they don't want to use it for their own growth and benefit, they may not even know what to do with it, and they don't want to take the challenge to stay in the process and breakthrough. I know the story of a great woman that when she was a kid, she was given buttons instead of pennies as allowance-unfair, isn't it? Back then she didn't fight, she didn't regret, she just saved them, there was nothing she could do with them but play with them, using them to sow she became a successful seamstress on Broadway. She didn't grow up resentful. She took the challenge and gift already given by life, took the lessons and made the best of it! She persevered and broke through the challenge.

You too can make the best of it:

Analyze the cost and effect of your actions: yes, going to another location to see the sunset and take pictures may sound great, however, do you have the time to get there? how long does it take for the sun to set? are you already in a good location? do you know whether a new unknown location is better? Have you done the best with what you have? or, are you just getting dispersed and moving erratically?
Understand that you are already in the right place: NOW. There's no better place than it. Nothing else exists. See what you have and ask yourself: are you making the best of it? Are you present?
Take the challenge that the present is offering you. Are you using what you have as a foundation to build the rest?
Trust and don't resist, instead FLOW with what life is giving you. It's your choice to see what you have presently as an OPPORTUNITY instead of a punishment. Trust the mysterious inner agenda, a somewhat plan already traced, like a divine magical intelligence, it is there putting you on the edge to test your ability to jump and breakthrough your weaknesses. When you find yourself resisting and struggling, breath and give it another chance!
Avoid complaining: It'll not change the fact that you still have lots of lemons in you backyard to work with, and it will leave you drained. Sit down and think, what can you do with what you have? START DOING IT
Take the challenge and make it the best: If you have lemons in your backyard, make sure you prepare the best lemonade and make sure you even improve the business of selling it!
Don't give up! Giving up too early will keep you from being successful and fulfilled. YOU MUST STICK TO THE PLAN and you will then see yourself sprouting and giving fruits to a great destiny!
Practice the following affirmation when needed.

"I TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF WHAT EXISTS IN MY LIFE NOW AND TAKE THE CHALLENGE AND

LET THE PRESENT SPROUT INTO INFINITE OPPORTUNITIES "
