How to Deal With the Ups and Downs of Life — Most People Forget the Last One

How we approach ups and downs of life is really a metaphor for how we approach our own ever-changing reality. We can do this in one of three ways. 1) optimistic 2) pessimistic 3) see things as they truly are (notice I don’t say “realistic” because no one can predict the future accurately).

Optimism is delusion, pessimism is negative, but to see things as they truly are is to awe at the beauty of the universe rather than some imagined one in your head.

To see things as they truly are without resistance, hate, anger or jealousy brings about a deep peace and inner calm. It is to live in alignment with everything that is happening in the universe. This video explains how to do just that.

I lack discipline. So, I go into my studio and work on my art, once I am calm, I stop and meditate for a 20 minute set alarm. Then I return to my art.
My latest affirmation is that “I am focused and discipline in all my efforts”. Hoping to strengthen my discipline levels and find more peace.
Thank you Todd, so timely, so grateful! 💕🕊

This is such a hopeful message. I hope people who are hopeless and in despair find this and understand it. There is a way through suffering and heartbreak, and a deeper learning within these experiences. Thank you for your guidance and inspiration. God bless you.

I think, gratitude for each and every experience we encounter in our life, no matter how our ego judge them, is the kee point to not be driven by our emotions and to stay in peace. If we can reach that point in our development, we are able to survive everything and anything as a human.

I had the opportunity to be a witnessing presence just recently when there was a tornado alert in my area. At first I was in panic mode. It was so dark. No power! I surrendered to going within. Fear went away and I fell asleep. Thank you Todd for the on going messages that keep us on track! 🙏🙏🧡

Im only just beginning to understand that we are given challenges to grow & learn from, not avoid or resent. To embrace life as a whole…. Its a work in progress! 😬

Yeeessss….I keep saying its internal peace is what I seek daily. Everything else is secondary. But thats also an ongoing process. Its STILL hard for us to STOP, make time, sit still & meditate, do breathwork to try & connect more deeply with our over soul. Sometimes having such a strong mind/will is not a good thing when its entrenched in EGO, negativity, lack, fear. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oy vey…ha ha. Being 53 makes it harder bc we have half a century of programming to prune from our neural connections. It all takes much energy while simultaneously trying to live in the real world rat race & drama. Remind me why my crazy self AGREED to incarnate here into THEE most challenging timeline? A planetary ascension & realm shift all at once. 😂🫠🤯
