Turn Your Wounds Into Strength
I hope one day you look back and see how far you have come. How much you have healed in your journey. I hope you remember the weakness you felt was overcome by the strength burning inside you. The tears you may have cried cleaned your pallete, and you created something beautiful from it. May you always remember that your sadness and grief are not eternal bearings on your soul. Healing releases you from it.
There are going to be difficult times in your life. We usually are only left with 2 options. We can either fight against it, or we can ride through the wave and see where it takes us. The path we tend to take is the one with most resistance. We will carry on about how we wish the situation would be different or how unfair the situation may be. We put so much energy into something that does not benefit us. We must learn to be kinder and softer to ourselves. Accept the wave that has come forth and ride it out. No matter how scary the wave may seem, you can conquer this like everything else you have been through.
Each step we take is not always easy, but we have to keep moving forward. You don’t have to conquer the storm all in one day. Take one step at a time. You don’t have to worry about what is to come. Just navigate the present moment. The rest will come in due time. Until then, take it step by step.
