Worth: Universal Players

I'm constantly reminding people of their worth by telling them that everyone has a purpose here or they wouldn't be here. Like stars in the universe, they fill a needed void with their existence, even if they haven't found the reason behind it yet.

Be patient... timing is important. No answer doesn't mean it's a bad answer. 

Today, in meditation, guidance reminded me to remember that this is true in many aspects of life. Many times, what we see as something bad may have a higher order behind it. A possible check and balance in the system. Something we haven't been made aware of yet. Possibly, the good of the one, or few, outweighing the good of all.

It reminded me of the Taoist farmer and horse story... to not assume something is bad... or good.

Even if we are not privy to an immediate understanding, it doesn't make it less valid. We are all privy in asking. Even if we may not like the answer, it's still there for us.

I was also reminded, with the reasoning of "everyone has a place to fill," that if we don't want our place negated, we should think about another's place, the part they are playing, and the reason for it.

The easiest way to quell frustration, over something we feel, is to ask that question: if I'm here to fill a void for a general or higher purpose, wouldn't everyone be too? And if so... what is it?

It's important to be impeccable in questioning things in order to get the best results. 

They said that most won't ask though... some relish their frustrations, anger or "woe is me," as opposed to knowing the answer.

I felt that it's because they may already know the answer, deep down inside, and just don't want to hear it spoken or don't want to acknowledge their part in the universe.

My meditation this morning also reminded me once again how powerful our collective thoughts can be in manifesting things and to be careful what we request. It may not be as we expected because we don't always know the part we are playing in the universe.
