I finally understand that when
Tess fingers her scar, it's not
because she's scared, but because
she wants to remind herself that
she has what it takes to survive.
NO GOOD DEEDS
Laura Lippman
Thriving is much better than barely surviving, just as laughter is more pleasant than tears; but all are important ingredients in the making of a life. While living, we are faced with many polarities that are in need of becoming balanced.
Challenges present themselves to us, not to defeat us, but rather to give us an opportunity to stretch and grow. Through the process of transition, we are made aware of how resilient we can really be. As finances, friendships, material securities or health issues come into question, we have the choice to embolden our spiritual belief systems, gather resources, and creatively embrace all of the positive that just may erupt out of the change. Visualize and hold in your mind the very best outcome possible!
Seek out the help of family or dear friends to explore resources. Reach out to community activities, as isolation harms a saddened heart. If we try to reframe our challenge into an adventure that will enhance your life in a different way, fear and anxiety can be greatly reduced.
Even though we may be surrounded by loved ones, our hearts still beat alone. We can listen to guidance, advice, and opinions, but the final decision will be ours alone. Whatever direction is taken, primarily, we will be alone.
And is this not the lesson ... to blossom and flourish on our own ... to gather our wits about us and let empowerment carry us forward ... to believe in our gifts and talents ... and stand singularly on our own?
We must appreciate our unique beauty and depend upon our inner spirit, so when we are faced with a life challenge, we will find comfort in holding our own hand.
