I believe we come here to accomplish or mastery life lessons, and when we feel we are done, we go home. Try never to put yourself down. We are creating our lives as we go along, each and every one of us. Be more compassionate toward yourself and allow yourself to experience whatever it is that you are going through.<\/p>\n<p>I am learning each day to live my life from a more compassionate perspective. I strive to see my life as a fascinating adventure. If I see problems and challenges on my path, I know the Universe is just trying to get my attention to show me a better way. When I ask for a sign from my guides and angels, I pay attention to the small signals and try to learn from them. It has been my experience that if I ignore this signs, things become more complicated and magnify. I don&#8217;t want this so I sent my intention to pay attention. When something negative happens, remember that you are doing your best and make a commitment to be open to see things from a different perspective. Let go of the bad feelings and be open to the message it is showing you.<\/p>\n<h4>Your Angel Guidance is:<\/h4>\n<p>Make a commitment \u00a0to yourself to be more compassionate toward yourself and your life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Say this affirmation every day:&#8221;Everything in my life is a gift that brings me to self awareness and greater compassion for myself and others.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tons of love, Sharon and the angels xoxox<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playingwiththeuniverse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.playingwiththeuniverse.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Check out Sharon&#8217;s book, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hLo1LL\" target=\"_blank\">Angel Guidance, Messages of Love and Healing<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"score-component ad ad-container hidden-xs text-center col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"teads-inread\">\n<div class=\"teads-ui-components-label\">A beautiful expanded collection of 365 messages inspired by the daily Angel Wisdom that Sharon Taphorn shares with thousands of readers around the world.
