When our souls decide to come to Earth, we have a plan, something we want to accomplish. Our souls intend to meet life’s challenges and succeed, to be the victor over, rather than the victim of, life circumstances. Once our souls come into the denser energy of earth plane, life can be more challenging than we had expected. Perhaps we struggle with finances, relationships, emotional anxiety, mental stress, spiritual malaise, or sometimes we even get a dis-ease. When we feel stuck in our lives, it is our soul’s way of saying, “Change something! Now! Do it now!”
