There are times
when we each have sacred blessings to
learn. These are lessons that will
push us to the limit of our greatness.
At these times, it may seem that others
are abandoning, rejecting or criticizing
us without just cause. They are
not. No matter how hard we try, we
can't seem to do, say or be what others
expect of us. We can't. The
harder we try to pull others to us, the
farther they move away. The more
we try to fix things, the worse they
seem to get. What we must do at
these very sacred times is pull back,
withdraw and prepare to grow. Our
lessons are very sacred. They are
the basic ingredient of our greatness.
To accept them we must be open. To
receive them we must be willing.
To understand them we must be alone.
