Every Step Is Forward

Sometimes during our spiritual growth, we can feel as if we are going backwards, rest assured you are not.

There are times when we feel that we are spinning our wheels in the mud in terms of our spiritual progress. This can be especially true following a period of major growth in which we feel as if we’ve gained a lot of ground. In fact, this is the way growth goes — periods of intense forward movement give way to periods of what seems like stagnation. In those moments when we feel discouraged, it’s helpful to remember that we don’t ever really go backward. It may be that we are at a standstill because there is a new obstacle in our paths, or a new layer to get through, but the hard work we have done cannot be undone.

Every step on the path is meaningful, and even one that seems to take us backward is a forward step in the sense that it is what we must do to move to the next level. In addition, an intense growth spurt requires that we rest for a time in order to fully integrate the new energies that have been liberated by our hard work. When we feel we are not making progress, we can encourage ourselves to take a moment to rest. We can meditate more, feed ourselves well, and get extra sleep. Before we know it, we will be spurred on to work toward the next level of our development, and this rest will make sense then as something we needed in order to continue.

Once the sun rises, it doesn’t go backward but instead follows its path in one direction. It may appear to stand still for a moment in time, or to move more slowly at some point or another, but really it is steadily moving forward on its path. We are the same way, and once we have moved through something we can never really go back. We may be resting or revisiting issues that seem old, and it’s natural to feel stuck, but in truth we are always taking the next important step forward on our path. AMEN! 😎✨

@xango,

Good morning in beautiful Florida. 😎🌹😘How are you doing today? I wonder if you
are baking or cooking something delish. ✨

The moon was full and bright last night I went out and was playing with four cats. 😎

I can’t go to bed unless I see the black cat who has been coming to me for three years.
We have an understanding. I have no clue where he came from he just appeared and he
never leaves the block he hides and rest in the daytime at night I can see him through
the security camera and with the moon and trees out he looks beautiful. 😎✨I keep him
healthy by giving him wet and dry food and plenty of water I do that for all the cats.

Oz is alright today we will be in the low 80’s that is as hot as I can take it. ✨😘 If I were
on a Cruise or Island then I like it hot, hot, hot. ✨

Wishing you a nice day is hubby working from home this week?
