You have to be your strongest when you are feeling weak!
When we are at our most vulnerable is the time that we need to be able to draw down deep inside and find that inner strength to continue. And I know that saying this is not as easy as that.
It is often very difficult when we are emotionally low to focus on anything at all. When we feel hurt, alone and disappointed it is so easy to dwell on those negatives feelings. It is easy to allow ourselves to believe that we are victims. To believe that this is what it is. To believe this is our lot in life.
This is exactly when we need to reach deep within ourselves, to that place inside where we know we have some strength just waiting to be tapped into. And even if it feels like it is a teeny weeny little bit of strength, it will be enough to pull us out of the quagmire we are sinking into. It will be enough to enable us to focus on something other than feeling sorry for ourselves or about our situation.
What we wish for
Be careful what you wish for! That is a phrase I have heard so often in my life, but one that I always shrugged off when I was younger.
We all wish for things. And sometimes we don’t realise the power of our wishes. But more importantly, when we are wishing for something we seldom stop to think about the unforeseen and sometimes unfathomable consequences of wishes coming true.
There are many short stories and books written around this saying, and even some films that aptly illustrate unwanted consequences. And sometimes the outcomes in these are awful.
We all have a past, but we shouldn’t live there.
We all have places we have been, and things we have done. And our pasts are filled with good decisions and poor decisions. Our pasts are filled with lessons learnt, and some we just could not grasp.
