From Pity to Praise

If you are struggling to know this too shall pass. Your suffering or feeling dis-connection or did-ease is meant to teach you.

To awaken you. To help you. To evolve you. To show you how strong you are. To show you what you are capable of. To show you miracles do exist. To show that you are more than your thoughts. To show you how powerful you are. To show you that you are not in control of the unfolding but how you respond to it.

Look for the signs, for they are all around, nudging you to listen to your gut, to listen to your heart, to do what may be irrational. To do what is needed, To be you. To take care of you.

If you are feeling alone. Know that it is just not true. You are guided. You are Loved. You are Protected. You are cared for beyond your wildest imagination.

More people than you could ever imagine feel the same way you do. If you could open up and share what is going on, you would be amazed at how many people you care about share the same feeling.

If you are lost, stop. Stop searching and seriously, just be. Surrender it all. Give it all up to whatever higher power you believe in. Stop pushing, striving, proving, doing. Let it go. Let it be.

I promise you will be okay. Because you are okay. And there is nothing more important than being you. Becoming you. Speaking you. Feeling you. Choosing you. You are more than okay. You are what your searching for.

Whether this is your first time hearing this story, it serves as an important reminder of the power we have over our experiences and emotions. It’s easy to feel like a victim in challenging situations and circumstances in our life. We want to understand our negative thoughts, feelings and experiences, so we place blame on other people, objects, or events.

We look outward to try to make sense of what’s going on inside of us. We do this all the time. Why? It’s our way of coping, and feeling more in control of uncontrollable situations. The problem with this approach. However, is it takes away our personal responsibility and freedom of choice. In our attempt to feel more in control (by faulting others for our experience) we actually strip ourselves of our own power.

That power is lost the moment we become dependent on other people or things to make us feel a certain way. Whether that feeling is positive or negative.

By exercising your freedom of choice, you can make a life changing decision of which wolf you will feed. Do you feed the wolf that is hungry for anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, ,

The evil wolf tells you that you are a failure, the one who says no one will ever love you or understand you for who you are. This wolf is a representation of your depression, your anxiety, and your low self-esteem. Do you want to feed this wolf? Are you feeding him already? By cutting off his food supply. You will be making a choice to use your energy, and resources on thoughts, feelings, and emotions that serve you In heathy ways

I little progress each day adds up to be big things

We are all looking for stability in a shaky world. We want something we can get a hold of that’s firm and sure and an anchor in the mist of the instability in which we are living.

When you think of an anchor, you usually picture the heavy object that’s tied to a ship that keeps it secure to the bottom of the sea. An anchor is something that provides a firm foundation and security. We all need an anchor to steady ourselves in this world. It keeps in us steadfast and gives us hope during the trials and storms of life. Hebrews 6 tells us that it is our hope that is the anchor for our soul.

How many times have you said something to someone and then thought. I shouldn’t have said that or wish you could take it back. Unfortunately there are no do overs in communication once it’s said it’s out there we can’t reel it back in like it didn’t happened.

Avoiding saying things and you could stop a lot of unnecessary pain. Before you speak ask yourself these five questions. Is it True? Is it Helpful? Is it Inspiring? Is it Necessary? Is it Kind? If you cannot answer yes to these questions don’t let it come out of your mouth.

Even though there are days I wish I could change some things that happened in the past. There‘s a reason the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big. Where you are headed is so much more important than what you left behind.
