I quoted these thoughts from the Brahma Kumaris in last night's AQ Community Call:

"Rest does not come with sleeping, it comes with waking. This is both an insight and an action of enlightenment. When we are enlightened we relise that real rest is possible only when we become free of illusion and we no longer struggle against life. Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances, or our perceptions of others to the contrary. This means you can be easy on yourself, easy with others and easy with the world around you. Easiness is a virtue, an attractive one at that. It is much more influential than force. So quit forcing, end the struggling and . . . relax!"

Remember, struggle is strictly overrated!

Last night, we had a fabulous and inspiring call exploring the 4th Guiding Principle of Abundance Intelligence:

All is Well, Especially in Difficulty

We discussed new and powerful definitions for two concepts that society often views at opposing ends -- Opportunity and Difficulty. We found the difficulty in opportunity and the opportunity in difficulty.

We explored the concept of Courageous Abundance -- possessing the courage to choose your greatness over your fear in the midst of difficulty.

And we connected this principle to another AQ Guiding Principle:

What is Meant For You Can't Be Lost

When we show up as who we are, doing what we CAN do, finding the thread of purpose and the growing edge of opportunity -- even in events and things we can't understand or are painful or uncertain . . .

What is Meant For Us Can't Be Lost

It reminds me of another conversation I had with my friend, Eric Palmaer, yesterday. Eric writes amazing poetry. In one of his poems, he wrote about learning to say thank you to fear.

When is the last time you said thank you to difficulty?

Perhaps that very act turns the experience into an opportunity.

The AQ Guiding Principle Series:
"All is Well, Especially in Difficulty"

Wednesday, May 30th at 7pm eastern

641-985-1000 Access code 737180#

Join Kim as she continues to explore the Guiding Principles of Abundance Intelligence. The Guiding Principles are the frameworks, or overarching philosophies, of people with high Abundance Intelligence. In this call, Kim delves into the 4th AQ Guiding Principle:

All is Well, Especially in Difficulty

Nobody relishes those painful times in life, and yet, when we find the courage to sit in our pain and fear, living into our greatness is possible. The key to life is not in "reinventing ourselves" or becoming someone else, it is in coming back to who we are. In this provocative call, Kim will explore the steps to discovering the opportunity in difficulty. She will share her personal life journey and the tools that have helped her choose her greatness over her fear in this very special discussion.
