You are right where you need to be

You are right where you need to be. This statement resonated deeply with me when I heard it in a motivational video just last week. The timing of this message couldn't have been better for me personally, and I expressed gratitude to the universe for sending me this sign. It boosted my confidence to continue pursuing my goals and stay on my chosen path.

It was the perfect time for a powerful message since I had been imperfectly navigating this thing called life. Life is truly hard sometimes, and it stumps me when I am trying to stay on my path. Messages like this seem to reel me back into focus on my life's lessons and journey. That statement has a soothing tone that grants us permission to be content with where we currently are. It's as if our position in life has been validated, and it brings a sense of peace. Being right where we need to be should give us the comfort and strength we need to endure further.

Lately, I have been actively applying for various job opportunities and was even overlooked for a position that I was highly qualified for. It has now been ten months since I have been unemployed, and for the past two months, I have continuously applied for jobs only to receive rejection after rejection. Despite having a well-crafted resume, successfully passing all required assessments, and possessing a wealth of experience, my efforts seem to be in vain. With my background in bookkeeping, accounting, customer service, Microsoft Office proficiency, and much more, I can't comprehend why I have consistently faced disapproval over the past two months. It is perplexing, to say the least, as I am only seeking part-time work; what could possibly be hindering my progress? Obtaining a part-time job would simply provide some financial stability during my entrepreneurial journey - just enough to cover basic expenses. You know what they say though...One monkey doesn't stop no show, so despite these challenges, I will remain committed to achieving success with my YouTube channel as well as other online endeavors.

Today, I received an email from Dollar Tree. Did you hear me? I said Dollar Tree, informing me that I was not selected for employment with them. Of course, I began to question what made me unqualified to do this job. You know a lot of people have things go wrong and instantly blame themselves, and in hindsight where we are is really where we need to be we just don't see it yet. I needed to make sense of this whole situation but just couldn't. To keep myself encouraged I began to say to myself you are right where you need to be. I said it quietly and unconvincingly the first time. I then remembered one of my recent goals, and that is to talk with conviction. I said the statement to myself about four more times before I said it loud and convincingly enough for me to actually believe what I was saying. There is power in the words we speak and they allow us to manifest and turn our dreams into reality.

When it comes to talking to yourself, conviction is key. I am learning to speak with confidence and determination, and I practice this so it becomes a habit. Remember, the way you speak to yourself can have a significant impact on your mindset and overall well-being. So, stand tall, own your words, and believe in yourself! Enduring through hardship and maintaining faith in a chosen direction can be challenging, especially when things may not be going as planned. I realized at this moment, however, that it is crucial to trust that I am exactly where I need to be even if I can not see it right now.

It seems that these powerful messages always come at the perfect moment when we are struggling through life's challenges. This is great if we can receive and interpret the signs so we gotta make sure we pay attention. Life can be incredibly difficult at times and it often throws obstacles our way that make it hard to stay on track. It is common for people to experience self-doubt and believe that they are not capable or deserving of achieving their goals. However, it is important to remember that every step taken on the journey toward success is valuable. There will inevitably be obstacles and setbacks along the way, as well as moments of stagnation. It is important to recognize that these temporary situations are a normal part of the process and will be there waiting for us at every turn, so we may as well learn to go through these moments with strength, courage, and resilience.

Feeling tired, defeated, stuck, or stagnant should not be viewed as failures but rather as opportunities for growth and change. Embracing these moments allows us to appreciate where we are in our personal development and accept that it is exactly where we need to be at this moment in time. These temporary states will eventually shift and evolve into new experiences and achievements. There are times when the harshest lessons manifest through tragedy. It is during these challenging moments that we truly awaken to our own power and growth.

No matter what challenges arise or how they test our patience, we often feel a sense of injustice in having to endure them. We search for reasons to blame or regret and become frustrated by the grievances we encounter along the way. It is important to recognize that we are always where we are meant to be at any given moment. We experience exactly what is necessary for our personal evolution, even if it is not in alignment with our desires or preferences. Even if we find ourselves detesting a situation that frustrates and confuses us, it is crucial to accept that we are meant to be there. Through this acceptance, we open ourselves up to the lessons and growth opportunities presented by these challenging experiences. Instead of resisting or resenting them, embracing them as part of our journey allows us to uncover profound insights about ourselves and the world around us.

So remember, even when life presents challenging cards, trust that you are exactly where you need to be to evolve into your truest self. Embrace every lesson as an opportunity for growth and transformation, no matter how difficult. And never forget to enjoy the Journey!
