A year ago I felt discarded, disillusioned and silenced. Today, I feel repurposed, rejuvenated, and restored. What a difference a year can make. As difficult as it was, Im wholeheartedly grateful. This life experience has shifted me spiritually, emotionally and mentally. I got quiet. I made personal discoveries and found new roads to journey down. Its within our struggles that our true selves are revealed. This is once distractions begin to drift away. When we trust that some pain is necessary, we can see the opportunity for evolution. This delivers us to a new chapter. Too many times we allow ourselves to get stuck in the struggle. During this sticky time, we identify too much with the pain and not enough with the possibility of growth. Time is such a wonderful ingredient to the heal. If were open to it, time helps drive us to the other side, the side where the pain is in our rear view. Before, I would allow myself to be pulled in multiple directions (ego serving directions or toward people I was afraid to say no to), this in turn, watered down my own effectiveness. Included in this, too, were my thoughts. Today Im refocused on what feeds my soul and what is deserving of my precious time, energy and attention. I have learned to lower my expectations and I have heightened my acceptance of the uncontrollable. This has made for a sweeter and smaller life filled with a lot more love.
