Tell Yourself Today – Hell Is Happening Because…

Sometimes…our life is really hell.

And sometimes, we wonder just why the hell our guardian angels are kicking us in the teeth with all the fervor of a 5th degree black belt winning the National Grand Championship of Utter Awesomeness!

Well, having been a life coach now since the dawn of time, plus actually experiencing the above with totally melting down and wishing I could buy and sell long excursions off of short piers calmness, acceptance and steadfastness, I can now reveal to you just why the gods are playing dice with your life.

And it's this.

Because you need to *learn*….something precious indeed.

If you're a frequent reader of my blog, you know that back in August or September (my gosh, it blurs!) I crashed and burned so spectacularly, it would have outshone the DC Fourth of July fireworks.

You can read more about it here:

How To Brilliantly Turn Failure Into Money for 2012

To say I was reduced to something beyond mere patheticness….well, that would possibly be the prelude to such an epic writing!  🙂

And now?

Well. 

Hmmm.

Let's see.

Now, 3 months later, I can honestly say that not only did I heal myself most brilliantly, I also discovered that the agonizing soul-searing pain thru which I went….

• Utterly killed and made dead and buried the Barbara Ling of then
  

which:

• Caused the tremendously stronger Barbara Ling of today to emerge.
  

My gosh, if you were to tell me back when when I was crying my heart out that in 3 months from then, I'd be grateful the whole horrible situation happened, I'd have flung my coffeecup directly at your nose.

But it's true!  In other words:

I phoenixed into the person my guardian angel *meant* me to become.

And just like when creating samurai swords, the hotter the fire the more tempered the blade (actually, that's not true at all, but doesn't it sound profound?), the more you're forced to face that which you fear….the stronger you emerge.

Here's some of the changes the hell wrought in me:

I choose *where* to give my knowledge. 

Back then, I would go out of my way for people who refused to do the bare minimum themselves.  It was stupid then and it's stupid now – my knowledge is priceless and deserves respect. 

You don't respect it, you don't get it.

Amazing how easy it became to demand that.

I demand equal treatment.

Gone are the days that (for the most part) I do things because they're the right thing to do.

If someone just wants to take, without giving, f*ck them.  

I'm just as precious a person as is everyone else.  And I demand to be treated that way.  Fail to do that, and you're out of my life.  Period.

But here's one of the biggest changes that you simply cannot comprehend unless you walk the path I did.

I….understand.

I understand why some people are just plain heartless beasts.

I don't accept it, mind you, but I understand.

And I pass on that knowledge whenever I can, helping my friends come to peace with it as well.

Thus, tell yourself today that the reason why your life is hell is because you're at a critical crossroads….and the pain will transform you into the next step evolution of your Inner spirit.

Your future happiness will thank you for it.

Grow strong,

Barbara Ling
