One of the most powerful things you can do if you are faced with a challenging situation is to wait until you are able to find your alignment and connect with how you really feel, who you wish to be, and what energy you wish to bring to the situation, before you respond. This is infusing consciousness and mindfulness into your response, which will always bring much more satisfying results than immediately reacting from a place that is out of balance ever could because it will be in line with your truth and your highest intentions. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
