I very much welcome the equinox, the point where the days equalise and then turn in favour of more daylight hours! As a runner out in all weathers and a lot of it in the dark in the winter months, I am very aware of the energy and spring in my step as the end of March heralds lighter evenings and longer days. Our energy lifts, and we literally come out of hibernation and look to the creative energy all around us for inspiration.
All the crocuses and daffodils have endured the hard winter and remind us of the eternity of life, year in and year out. The snowdrops still emerge, the blossoms blossom and the hedgerows start to become lush and fresh.

We only have to look to nature to find our messages of endurance and of continuity, of keeping going through adversity, finding the strength within and simply continuing, whatever is going on around us.

Strength is the ability to persevere when things are hard, to find the qualities of determination and perseverance and courage within and to keep going when we don't want to. Once you have come through anything difficult, your confidence is increased - 'if I can do that I can do anything'. Once we have peeped beyond our comfort zone - dived way through it even - and found that we can again feel at ease, we have discovered the indominatable nature of the human spirit.

There is a flame inside each of us that cannot be put out. Even if it burns low, human beings can withstand so much, and ultimately it is through our attitude that we can change our life. In the end it is our perspective as to whether life is good or bad - as to whether we see failure as a place of learning and improving or as a terrible disaster.

The subconscious mind remembers the dominant thoughts and organizes itself around them, so if you are happy about success and good things and truly celebrate them, and if you are pragmatic about failure or hardship and simply see it as a learning process then you are more likely you are to direct yourself to success and happiness.

Wishing you all good things.

With love,
