What you desire with a burning desire, a continuing burning desire, you will draw to you.

—Jean Will

Our thoughts manifest themselves. That's both a powerful realization and a haunting one. Does it mean that we are to blame for the bad as well as the good experiences in our lives? Some wiser than ourselves would say yes. However, if our lives have been fraught with pain, that response doesn't comfort us. Let's settle, instead, for coming to believe that we have gotten what we needed for our growth, and it has taken many forms. We will continue to get whatever we need to make us whole.

Our journey has been full of surprises, right? Probably few of us imagined the turns our careers took. Nor did we anticipate the travels, the friends, the struggles in the midst of joys that our families experienced. And yet, all that we have come to know has benefited us. All that we have lived through enriched our contributions to others.

We may not be conscious of our souls' supreme desires. We must trust, however, that they have come to us in the right way at the right time. They will continue to do so.

My experiences have always been right for me. Even when I didn't like them, they were right. The same will be true today.
