It's easy to say that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and that the personal struggles we are going through are unfair and cause a sense of uncertainty. At this time in history on Earth, the struggles are intensified because of the systems, imbalance of spiritual concepts and programming that is occurring among individuals and communities.

If you are going through any type of personal struggle, congratulate yourself. A struggle, in a spiritual sense, is a movement towards more spiritual insight, growth and understanding. The harder and more intense it is, the more you are growing. Not going through struggles is the time that you have to worry about. It means that, spiritually, you are at a stand still. That doesn't lead to advancement in your life, knowledge or spiritual purpose.

The main reason for obstacles and struggles is not for suffering or victimization, as many in this culture have been led to believe. They are there to wake us up, get us to realize our purpose and begin working towards that purpose.

No matter what divine being you believe in, he/she doesn't want you to be in pain and to struggle all your life. The objective of hard times is to push you forward to a new level of understanding. If there were no struggle to push you, there would be nothing to conquer or overcome, and your true purpose as a human on Earth could not be achieved.

So, if you are going through an obstacle or personal struggle, the idea is to look at your life in the mirror, reflect on who you are, what you are supposed to do and how you are supposed to achieve it. It doesn't mean the struggle will go away, but you will at least have a basis for where to move in order for the obstacle to be jumped over, instead of it being a brick wall.

Just like that, your life will flip upside down. The adjustments that have to be made along the way will be easier to make. I'm not saying this as a lecture. I'm saying it as first hand experience of what I've been through and seen.

So, no matter what you are going through, stay the course, stay positive, get to know who you are and what you need to do, and the divine entity will assist you along the way.
