It is part of growth that we will sometimes look back on relationships and see our own part in the drama of that relationship. We need to learn and look forward to how we've grown and change because of those relationships. Since relationships are all around us, in business, family and personal.
It is only when we refuse to grow that relationships can become stagnant.
As conscious beings we are constantly learning new things; from books, other people, media or on the job. This is how we evolve. In some relationships there is that tug of war of personalities. Sometimes of trying to be heard or understood. When there is that constant drive to shove your truth down someone else's throat and constantly win; then you've already lost. You've lost because your no longer hearing the other person or respecting their point of view.
Relationships are about mutual respect and actually hearing each other and not talking over them. Sometimes it seems like listening skills is a lost art. Relationships are the largest growth opportunities.

Failure
Most people look at this as a bad thing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many famous people have failed before they had great break throughs of success. Failure is just a learning curve, where there might be missing steps or knowledge that we have not achieved. Sometimes it can mean that at this time in our life; we might not have those skills, steps or met the people that have those skills yet.
If you've ever attempted to try something again that you might have failed at in the past. You reflect on where things went off the rails. Maybe it was money, skills or steps. Because you have a base or a foundation from the past. You can look at the steps that went wrong and make correction strategies; on how you can handle or prevent those from happening again. This gives us an edge that others might have had to learn from.
Every person's learning experience is different. We are all different individuals with different skill sets. Real estate has its own learning curves. If your a painter, plumber, electrician or contractor. You have a pre-laid game plan going into investment property that others might not have. These are skills that minimize your risks up front.
Other things in life, depending on your personal experiences or your knowledge will give you an edge over other people in other areas. Failure doesn't always mean that we will fail again when we try something again. Sometimes it can be an economic thing that was beyond our control. The thing is to learn from our mistakes and failure and come up with other strategies to have different results and minimize our personal risks.
Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. If you've not great at something hire someone who has that skill set.

Who Are You?
When you take an intimate look at yourself, do you even know who you are? Or is it more like who you think you are? Are you staying the same or are you changing? Are you heading in the direction that you want your life to go. Sometimes we want to take certain classes, but the money might not be there. There might be a program locally that comes up with some classes that are related to the direction you are trying to go. Sometimes this is the little cues from the Universe to get us back on course.
When we ignore these little signs from the Universe, the opportunities stop coming. Always pay attention! It's these little steps, that start to get us closer to our end goals. These journeys, allow us to grow and get to know ourselves better. Some people make a list of things they want to get accomplished like a bucket list. One thing, I've noticed is that sometimes those things on the list are accomplished by us; sometimes they're accomplished the circumstances we're in.
We always have the opportunity to change ourselves. Education can be found in many forms. Classrooms, books, computer videos. The last two can be found in a library if money is tight. Classroom education comes in many forms. University, technical schools, community education, other specialized classes that are listed at a location. Opportunities are every where.
Once every six months go through the things you want to change about yourself. These can be accomplished with big and small steps. This is always about moving forward and not focusing on looking back at our failures. The failures are building blocks from which we learn. We can learn if there was a gap that we didn't previously see or all the steps were sound and where we took a misstep.
All that matters is that we are growing.

The Day Job
This is for those of you who are trying to get your business off the ground but are having to do a day job in the mean time to pay the bills. Most businesses can take up to five years to finally find that sweet spot of being self sufficient. I've seen too many practitioners become discouraged because they were taught their craft but not necessarily the business side.
If your business is in the service industry, it can take you up to five years to build up your client base. You might have to work with other practitioners to get clients. This is why hair stylists and massage therapists usually work under a shop. It gets them more experience and slowly builds there business.
Some people might buy an existing business to get a jump start on the client angle. You will have to learn the advertising game too. Some people can build their business fast and fierce if they've done something similar in the past. Net working will also come into play as your building your business. Practitioners will have to work out of more than one shop to get their business up and running faster.
While your doing your day job don't throw in the towel too soon. Remember if your a healer or a spiritual counselor. You are still doing your skills, even in your day job. Every time you food if your in a grocery store. You are changing the food so it now has more healing energy than it normally would. I'm trying to get it through to you that you are still making a difference even if you feel like your not. So don't get down on yourself.
This is one way to keep it real. You are always making an impact on people in your everyday life.

Play
Play is not just for children. Adults that never play become very stale in your everyday life. Your creativity is on a starvation diet. Play is how people create new businesses, new ideas, write novels, articles, paint and create art. Writing poetry. Allows more money to come through the door.
It can be a form a meditation too. Play can be done indoors or outdoors. It is a way to problem solve, its much harder to brain storm for solutions when you always under stress. It allows you to actually relax and just be. I allows things to start to flow and come to you naturally.
It allows people to share together time too. This time of connecting to yourself and finding out who you are again. We can get lost in the fast lane of life with the constant responsibilities. Play allows you to actually breathe. A lot of us have forgotten how to actually breathe, relax and play.
When we never take time for ourselves, we start to lose our identity of who we are? It can take a long time to explore that journey when you've lost that connection with yourself. We start to buy into the labels that people put on us. By playing, we are allowing ourselves to just be! To just exist and escape from all the drama and pressure of everyday life. It allows us to find another way to express ourselves and find solutions to make ourselves happier.
It helps us examine if we are truly happy or just going through the motions. If you start to see patterns that keep repeating in your life. Take a step back and see if you see the connection to why or what is making this happen. Allow yourself to take the time to play with different solutions to it and try some different things. If one thing doesn't work. You can always try a different approach. Play also allows us to take time to check in with ourselves to see if we are happy or not. What makes our soul sing? What makes you feel like your trudging through mud? Just take the time to see what answers come to you.

Dream Time
Several people have been experiencing a different dimension in their dream time state. These dreams are more than just dreams. There are real interactions taking place in those dimensions. Sort of like a multidimensional game of chess.
Some of the players are from ancient times, you recognize them as though it was just yesterday that you talked. The events that take place in those dreams are as real as this reality. A lot of these journeys are happening and its starting to blur the lines of the different dimensions in some cases. The veil is becoming thinner between the astral plane and the physical reality in some cases. Some people have even experienced the different dimensions in their waking state.
Different time lines and different realities. Time is bending more and more as its construct is being challenged as a reality. In recent times there have been reports of people stepping into our time from different times and dimensions. Sounds like something from a Psyfi movie. Many times life is much, much stranger than fiction.
As we enter 2018, many belief system will be challenged. History that is supposed to be based on facts will be challenged as the fiction it is. So pay attention to your dreams. Some are just dreams, others are a step into another reality.
