Instead of manifesting solutions to your problems and pressures, do you find that you are perhaps creating more problems and more pressures? Whether it is sickness in the family or a business deal that fell through, our problems and pressures generally bring only worry and anxiety. We become frustrated and depressed and get stuck in the mire of the mind trying to sort out what to do because we are concentrating on the problem instead of the solution.

Why do you have problems and pressures? You have problems and pressures because you often deal with personalities and negative emotions instead of with the highest in each person or situation. When you expect the highest from a person, you usually get their highest and this will help you to manifest solutions.

You have problems and pressures because you need to support and love every part of creation: nature, the animal world, and humanity itself. Everyone wants and needs support and love but if you don’t offer support and love to all, how can you expect to receive support and love?

You have problems and pressures because you need joy in order to lighten your daily challenges. Joy is the thread that carries your highest and most loving energies to all with whom you come into contact. Joy will help you to manifest solutions.

You are called on daily to use your discrimination-power. Discrimination can be something as simple as choosing a complimentary color for a business suit or as challenging as having the discernment to choose the next leader for your team. You want to be able to recognize the difference between making mediocre choices and making choices based on your highest and most soulful consciousness. Have you heard the story of ‘The Window’? Does this young woman have a soulful and discriminating eye or an eye of judgment and subtle prejudice?

The Window

A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging out clothes.

She said to her husband, "That laundry is not very clean. She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."

Her husband looked on but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash, the young wife would make the same comments.

This went on for about a month. One morning, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her how to do this."

The husband said to his wife, "Dear, I got up early this morning and cleaned our window."

What we perceive when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. Before making judgments or criticisms, remember to look with eyes of clarity and oneness rather than with a limited perception of what is. We tend to see what we want to see. Let us see through the lenses of our heart and soul so we can make the highest choices and manifest the best solutions.
