Opportunity. One of the frustrations we all experience is the gap between our desire to change and the time in which change takes place. It takes time or our conditions to conform to our intentions. The challenge here is to have faith that if we persevere the results of our efforts will inevitably bear fruit. No effort is wasted; it is what we say and what we do that determines the experience we have. It is a mechanism of the mind that would have us doubt the truth. Something about relationships, wanting to be met more completely. [ALHIM]
