Trauma can be dramatic but it doesn’t define you or the future… Challenges are just opportunities disguised as obstacles!
“Making This Life... The BEST Life”
Attitude Is Everything.
The circumstances aren’t always in our control. But, how we look at them, how we process them, and how we respond to those circumstances are always in our control!”
“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens” - Kahill Gibran
“You can’t have a positive life and a negative mind.” - Joyce Meyer
One Step At A Time.
Nothing ever achieved is accomplished in ‘one giant step’… It takes time, patience, dedication & determination. And it takes just taking that first step in the right direction… and then the next!
Don’t try to overthink it, or take on too much at once… break the process down into manageable stages… and then just take a step.
“Courage isn’t a matter of taking the whole mountain is a single massive leap. Courage is taking it one step at a time, doing what is necessary now, preparing for the next step, and refusing to worry about whether some step in the future will be the one to break you.” - Timothy Zahn
Faith Not Fear.
Fear is easy… it usually comes without warning, it just shows up! But Faith is a little harder, it takes believing in the fact that the current circumstances don’t define you… and having that unwavering trust that the future will be brighter!
“Fear cannot exist in the presence of faith. Fear only exists because you feel that you are not in control. Give up control, take a leap of faith and fear will vanish as the mists in the morning sun.” - John Harricharan
Protect Your Peace.
Protecting your peace, is loving yourself just as much as you love those around you. It’s hard to do sometimes, as we often put other needs before ours. But, we can’t be the best we can be for others, if we can’t be the best we can be to our own self’s.
We say ‘I love you’ a lot to others… how often do we say ‘I love me’ ?
Protecting you peace is also… not absorbing any negative feeling or energy that may surround you. It doesn’t mean we can’t be there and lend a helping hand in times of need… but we don’t need to “own” other’s circumstances, just to help them.
“Peace… it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in heart and mind.” - Unknown
You Are Not Alone.
All our circumstances are different yet a lot are the same… and even when they may be a lil different, it doesn’t mean that we are all alone.
Everyone has a story… don’t be afraid or too humble to share your story with someone… and I’m betting if you find just that one person that is really interested to hearing your story… that you will also find that the same person has a story to share too.
Stories lead to conversations, and conversations lead to friendships, and conversations & friendships lead to healing.
“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light” - Helen Keller
What’s Next?
So what’s next… its about first defining and taking ownership of our current circumstances… we have to own where we are first, before we can move forward.
And next it’s defining where we want go… defining the plan how to get there… and then just taking that 1st-step in that right direction!
