I don’t know who needs to hear this.
Maybe you need the support given by saying, “it’ll be ok, just keep holding on.”
These small, yet very powerful words can save someone when they can’t save themselves.
IT WILL BE OKAY
Do you believe that? Do you truly and deeply feel that the path you are on in this moment, is the one that is made for your future? The one that’s going to help you grow, flourish and bloom?
When we look at our past, so often we can feel ashamed to see the level of anger, sadness, anxiety, frustration, blame and the lies we tell.
When I look at my past, I don’t feel the same intensity of sadness I used to. It’s there, but I can notice the feeling of sadness and sit with it, as uncomfortable as it may be. Having the urge to change the feeling because it feels uncomfortable doesn’t mean it won’t come back. You haven’t shown yourself that you can win the battle, so ultimately the feeling has won.
Many times in my life I’ve felt like things couldn’t get any worse. I feel I had adapted my bad days as my new normal, so nothing ever changed. It became a routine to just about survive minute by minute. Nothing was unfamiliar because I didn’t have the energy to be different in any aspect of my daily living.
Every time I get a glimmer of hope and a shimmer that something has shifted, the glow gets buried by other areas of life. It feels further and further away every time I lose it.
I want to tell you something…
I believe you’ll find your glow! It hasn’t disappeared. It’s just faded and dulled. But it has never not existed. How does that make you feel? Hopeful? Relieved? Focused? I don’t believe anyone is without a little shimmer. It may not be visible if you aren’t purposely looking for it. You are not without a glow! There is always ALWAYS hope, no matter what. The darkest of nights have to end and the sun rises again each morning, giving us the chance to start again.
