Life is not a test to be taken, nor are you being judged by anyone other than yourself. Allow yourself the freedom to be without judging yourself. Accept yourself for being human with all the imperfectness that includes. What feels like a test is simply more lessons to learn to advance your life.
Without the lessons you would stagnate, stall out, and stop growing. When you stop growing, you start dying. It is a lot like a beautiful plant that remains in bloom until you stop watering and feeding it, then it starts to wither. The plant will weather storms, abuse from pests and animals, and fight off weeds, all so it can continue to bloom and grow.
What you perceive as tests are simply milestones on this journey of your life and each one enables you to go a little further and will even give you a choice of a new direction based on an experience you have had.
Life is not a linear experience, the journey is not a straight line but offers challenging turns in the road, detours to be indulged, and mountains to climb. The rewards are in the experience and how you feel it.
Take ACTION:
1. Take a few moments to look back at your life. Notice the milestones you have achieved and the specific decisions that have brought you to where you are today.
2. Now look at where you want to be in 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, and a year from now. What are the milestones you need to accomplish to get to each timeline? Write them down.
3. Read your new milestones daily, take at least 3 actions every day to bring you closer to accomplishment. These may include a phone call, an email to someone, a campaign launched, a trip booked, a class enrolled in, an entry submitted to a contest or any other appropriate actions.
