Blessings, Sympathetic Joy

The year-end is a time to look back at the blessings that the year has brought you. Never overlook the incredible number of blessings that have been sent to you, regardless of the number of challenges you have had to face. Your attitude is always determined by whether you see circumstances in your life as blessings or as problems. When you are able to see even the most difficult situations as merely blessings that are helping you grow, then you will begin to live in a more joyful manner than you ever thought possible. Trust your intuition and never let the rational side of you convince you of the reality of all of your problems. Instead let your heart tell you how much love has been sent with those difficulties and how blessed you are that the Creator allows you to experience so many ways to grow in this lifetime. Accept these blessings with a feeling of deep gratitude for every gift that is given. Express this gratitude by passing on the blessings and sharing them with others. When you share with others, you not only experience the joy of giving, but you are able to reflect in their joy at receiving a most wonderful gift. Make this the year where gratitude and sharing are the essential elements of your life. Explore the more feminine characteristics of your personality, such as empathy, compassion and unconditional giving. When you are focused on sharing everything with others then you will be able to experience the ecstatic mood of sympathetic joy that is available when your pleasure comes through creating joy in the lives of others.
