Life can seem, at times, a challenge. However, what keeps us on the journey? Yes, life has its ups and downs, but it can also yield great rewards. As many people who have achieved fame or fortune can attest, those things did not bring them the happiness that they had hoped. When we realize, cliche as it is, that the journey IS the destination, or that the obstacle IS the way, we discover that our greatest source of fulfillment has been all around us all the time.

Because of the night we can understand what the day is. It is the challenges and obstacles in our lives that awaken us and encourage us to be stronger on the path of spirituality. Life’s challenges cause us to reach for our inner strength, power, and help us to reconnect to our Light within. We are all striving to be happy in this world. We all desire blessings, prosperity, love, and joy. This week, the universe shows us how to use challenges as advantages and to recognize the Light in all situations.
