I've had some incredibly momentous moments in my life, moments that changed everything for me. From meeting new people to giving birth to my children. Each moment has left a mark either on my heart or my soul and even at times both...
I truly believe what we forget to understand is those moments are what shape us. They give us so much hope and bring happiness into our lives we would've never seen had it not been for that moment. Equally, there have been defeats throughout my life and it took me a long time to realize they too shape us...
Teach us and ultimately play a massive role in our future. Without great loss, we can not have great achievement. It is the very essence of balance and we can't have one without the other. In saying that you can really go through a really shit time... Constantly trying to remove the shit places on top of you... Digging and shoveling constantly. I think for me it was always going to be a battle of my heart and mind.
What I thought I believed I deserved as opposed to what I received. Sometimes I get stuck and sometimes I just keep digging. I think the key is to hang onto your faith and the hope you hold in your heart. Bad times don't last and like anything, if you use the knowledge you gained from each experience to better equip yourself next time around I can guarantee you the outcome will always be better.
You really just have to believe in yourself, in your journey, and in life. That has been what has kept me going... The affirmations... "You've got this!" "You did it, girl!" "You did good today Mumma!" "You can do this!" "Tomorrow we will try again." "Just breathe!" "You are going to be ok!" There have been and always be small moments in the car, laying in bed, doing chores, at work, and in the shower where their words are whispered softly to me.
Through the good and the bad times... Not for any other reason than that my soul needs to know how incredibly strong it is. When you appreciate what you have done and what you continue to do it makes the moving forward process so much easier. Because that's what life is "A process of events projecting forward." It is a catastrophe to ever think you aren't deserving of moments that take your breath away...
If those moments don't find you, go out and make them for yourself. One piece of advice I can give that is when you choose to sit around waiting life will not give you what you want or need. You really have to work for it. I mean you have to work for everything. You have to get your mind in a place where it can remain focused and positive because that is where it all starts.
"When your mind is in the right place everything else in life just flows!" Your heart and soul will always follow... And when you are doing everything right there will be a sense of calm... Comfort... And freedom... This is every area of your life... Work... Home... Relationships... Friendships.....even in making memories...
If you have more of these moments it makes coping with the bad things life brings even simpler. Appreciate every lesson as a path to your final destination... Celebrate all the moments that changed you and hurt you... "There is great purpose to all things God brings into your life! Never be afraid of finding out what they might be!"...
Moments...
