Bad News ... Or Unlikely Teacher?

I receive daily "Notes from the Universe" from a wonderful online service - Tut.com. Yesterday's Note reminded me of the Aikido principle of utilization of energy:

"Invariably, Judy, a sudden disappointment, a bit of "bad" news, or a flock of butterflies gathering in your stomach, are all omens that a fabulous adventure is fast approaching."

Instead of resisting, blocking, hiding, or wishing away what sometimes feel like life attacks, we might instead invite them in, looking for the unlikely teacher hidden inside. When we reframe and rename difficult and unexpected life events and call them gifts, we start to look with a different lens. And we take our power back.

Good ki!

Great post, Judy and great advice. I loved the concept of a fabulous adventure approaching. What we look for is, generally, what we find.
