#Designher2016 Monday’s Motivational ❤ Minute:
We are always at choice.
When we experience difficulty, we all have choices. One option is to hide in a dark place away from the world, another is to dismiss, numb, and move on, yet another choice we can make is to face the adversity head on, knowing that we are not alone. I am growing in the way I experience pain and challenges. I have used the above three strategies and many others to navigate obstacles. Some have worked well for me. Some have not.
Today, I have found hope in my hurts. Here is my current strategy: it’s not right or wrong. It’s not the only way. it’s my way, and that’s good enough. For now…
Step #1 is: Awareness. Awareness that I am hurting. I have the courage to let the trial in, and see it for what it is. I choose this path because of love for myself and others. Not due to fear.
Step #2 is: Walking In Hope, I realize that I am always at choice. My circumstances do not define me. My creator does. Together we set the pace. We walk this path together. I expose the lie that says I am alone. I will choose to seek out others who can support me.
Step #3 is: Acknowledging that hurts are real. When I choose not to dismiss the hurts, I have provided a safe place for healing to begin in the areas of my body, mind, spirit and heart that have been exposed.
Adversity strengthens my hope and my faith. I walk into this Joy by choice… I will heal. I am healing. I am healed. #legacynowlived
