Your Soul's plan

Hope you are all well.

Has anyone read a book called "Your Soul's plan" by Robert Schwartz?

I am about a third of the way through and it is interesting to say the least!

Here's a passage that grabbed me -

When we plan our lives, we choose to "work" with other souls who we love very much and who love us. Like Jon's parents, Doris's mother knew before birth there would be painful conflict with her child. Only a soul who truly loved Doris and was committed to Doris's evolution would agree to bear the brunt of her anger. In this way, our greatest tormentors are often those with whom we share the most love when in spirit.

When this lifetime is complete, Doris will thank her mother for the growth she fostered, and Doris's mother will thank her for the opportunity to have been of service. Gratitude towards those who have most challenged us - and thus stimulated our evolution - is a soul-level perspective we can adopt while still in body. When we make that choice, we remove blame from our lives. Without blame, forgiveness becomes possible, and with forgiveness comes healing.

May tap out a couple more excerpts for this thread ... remind me :)

That made me curious enough to plug the following into Google -

Grateful life challenges - quite a few look worthy of exploration ...

You can also find the author at YouTube -

Yes, I do believe we come into this life with a plan for what we want to work out and that we have soul groups that tend to incarnate together to work on things.

The universe is on our side for growth so be patient and work best with the challenges of this current life. We didn't sign up for 'easy'.
