How good are you at letting things go? For some people, this is a very difficult process. The phoenix rising from the ashes is a wonderful analogy for remembering how important it is to rise above it all. One of the most difficult things to do during any process is to learn how to keep the faith. It is easy to get discouraged. Without the struggle, we don’t have as much appreciation for the outcome. Great work takes time and if you are going to all of the trouble to create and forge a new life, then you already know it will take some effort. This Phoenix Rising from the Ashes is also a wonderful analogy for rebirth. It shows us that we can emerge from catastrophe stronger, smarter, and more powerful than we were before. This meditation is a wonderful exercise for growth and renewal. Sometimes we are kicked out of our comfort zone for a reason. Perhaps we were meant for much more. They say we are never given more than we can handle but many of us question that at times.   Like a phoenix rising from the ashes our struggles are what make us shine. Emerging from the struggle really gives us an intense and joyful appreciation. Looking back, we realize that our struggles made us the incredible person we are today.
