Heaviness can come over your soul today as you ruminate upon the challenges that lie ahead. Whether these are concrete, predictable roadblocks related to your current goals or visions of possible difficulties that may appear in your path at some point in the future, you may find yourself reacting somberly to what you see. Dwelling upon your musings can give you comfort in the short term today but cannot help you cope with the issues underlying the trials just over the horizon. If you put aside your worries so that you can concentrate on those challenges that have solutions you can enact in the present, the weight pressing upon your heart will more than likely be lifted.

While it is easy to fall into a pattern in which we dwell on those aspects of our lives that distress us, we can enact solutions to the problems plaguing us by taking an active rather than a passive approach. The heaviness and somber mood that takes hold in our hearts when we are facing grave challenges can make proactive thought quite difficult. Yet it is unlikely that we will overcome these difficulties without a modicum of internal effort on our part, even when our circumstances seem otherwise hopeless. When we consult our creative center, we often come to see that there are many avenues open to us. Even if the only choice we can make is to bide our time, we are still in control of our own destinies. You will feel less discouraged today when you decide to take your fate into your own hands.
