Every end is a new beginning. We have all heard that phrase and we pretty much all know that most times things are easier said then done. But, no matter what endings we might have experienced during the course of our beautiful and amazing lives, one thing is for me always certain: things will always get better, everything is for the best. Therefore, I would say that for me, it is important to acknowledge my feelings and allow myself to understand what I might be going through but to also put things in perspective. There is no need to ignore our feelings or judge ourselves because we might be feeling a certain way, or we might be reacting to situation in a specific matter. So many times we might get defensive and try to fix things or even hurt ourselves or others by trying to continue to do something or continue to be engaged in something that is no longer serving us.

Everything happens for a reason and there is always something that we can learn from whatever we might be going through: sometimes the lesson comes as a positive experience, we go through something that enlightens us and makes us feel good about ourselves so that we want to experience it again in the future, and some other times the circumstances of an event might not be so positively looking, but even then we get a wonderful opportunity for learning, we are learning by experiencing contrasts in our lives. In this case, things usually start to get even better when we not only realize what we do not want, but also shift our minds and concentrate on generating ideas and thoughts about what we do want, that we might not otherwise become aware of, if we would not have gone through those challenging experiences.

For me, for example, the last twelve months have brought many endings into my life, endings that I have experienced on multiple levels of my existence: both on professional and personal matters. As I was aware of the fact that some ending were necessary, but maybe not joyful, I have decided that it would be useful for me to focus more on celebrating the things that I have learned so far as a result of being involved in those chapters of my life that came to an end, and not try to fix the situation or blame myself because the situation did not take a different turn. I do believe, on a deeper level that everything happens for a reason, at the right time and within the right circumstances, and therefore, by reminding myself to celebrate the accomplishments of those journeys, I have been able to see these endings as peaceful experiences and not as treats against my overall well being and health.

In order to be able to reach our full potential and live life to its fullest, we have to learn to peacefully let go and celebrate the endings that come into our lives. Endings are such a natural part of life, it is the universe`s way of telling us: this is no longer serving you, it is time to start a new journey, it is time to shift focus and realign with your inner truth and your most truthful priorities, and perhaps most importantly, it is time to get back home. Sometimes, an end is just one way in which the universe or the divine is telling us that a situation is not only no longer serving our purpose, but also that we are ready to embrace the change. Whenever change happens in our lives, we are on a deeper level ready to embark upon it and make the best out of it. It might not seem this way at first, but we all know intuitively what is it that we really need.

Therefore, maybe we can celebrate the endings that living on this planet Earth is constantly bringing into our lives, without thinking of those events or situations as negative or terrifying, they may not be happy or cheerful, but there is a sense of gratitude and thankfulness that can help us always in order to see those powerful changes in our lives as amazing opportunities for both healing and growth. Every end is yes, a new beginning, after each chapter that ends there will be a new one that follows, and of course as always, the more we stay open towards constant learning and growth, the more able we are going to be to embrace those changes that occur in our lives as peaceful, healing events that are there just to help guide us get to the next step and embrace the journey fully as it unfolds.
