Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.

#day4 #accesssconsciousness #21daysofsuccessstories In the world where people say there is lot of negativity going on - and most people feel scared,helpless,cynical and pessimistic- we need to know that there is so much good available. The only thing you need to do is choose it. A Quick story of my client- who was stuck in a foreign land with phone battery gone dead in the country where they did not speak English. A little skeptical and a lot helpless Nayana (name changed again to keep identity safe) was really worried as she did not know what to do to reach hotel. All of a sudden she remembered a few tools of access consciousness and started using them on trial and error. She also started her prayers and since was also an Angel Therapy student - she prayed with all her heart Within 3-4 minutes she found a taxi and an English speaking taxi driver whom she says ‘appeared out of no where’ . He safely helped her reach her hotel room and she said “everything was so quick and
