"Unravel the story you tell yourself,
and discover the story you are in."
Parker J. Palmer
Weakened by loss of sleep, overwhelming emotions trigger a spiraling collapse into thoughts of being a victim. In my mind, I slide back through time circling around all of the traumatic experiences. Life can be harsh and then I feel totally out of control.
It is only when I can strip this script from myself that I can quietly sit in stillness wrapped in the present moment with intentional breath. Then I can see the present just as it is and healthy actions come to mind. Action moving forward pulls me out of victim hood and into the power I have always had.
To remove all drama and view reality, the question becomes "What is the lesson?" Parallels from past experiences present themselves and the path I need to follow opens. I willingly follow the light for once again I am a warrior in control of my plight.
