Queens Stand Up

We believe we all come here with purpose to fulfill and add to universal evolution. Joy and rain sunshine and pain are all purposeful experiences. Every perceived problem is actually an opportunity. Can you imagine the inventors of the light bulb sitting around complaining about the dark instead of actually thinking of ways to have light whenever they desired light, we might still be waiting on the sun to rise every day to carry out tasks. That's what happens to us when faced with challenges we perceive as fatal sentences. When faced with a challenged we are being gifted with a reason from the universe to focus our minds and imagine life different, a gift that helps us understand our power on a deeper level and helps us learn how to more effectively use our minds. The universe is teaching us that we have some of the same powerful energy the sun has, so we don't have to wait for the sun to give us light we can create our own out of our own darkness even.
