Embracing all Aspects of Life

Today morning I heard of a news that dashed my hopes, broke my heart and greatly disappointed me. Instead of reacting as usual and pining away for my dashed hopes, I decided to just completely open myself to just admitting and feeling how hurt, disappointed and sad I was that my desires could not be fulfilled. At the same time I started acknowledging that GOD was the source of my desires and fulfillment and I just needed to let go of the form my desires had to take. This was a very powerful way to transform the hurt and longing I felt into joy, peace, love , fulfillment and inner strength.
