Day #2
"We learn a lot about ourselves when we go through "crap".
It's like we don't really know what we're capable of, until our backs are against the wall. Every challenge we overcome becomes a new strength on our tool belt for handling life, so why avoid challenges? Heartbreaks, failures, and loss all serve to injure us, but in the cracks they create reveal new parts we may have never known existed. Now we can wait for life to throw challenges things at us (which it definitely will), or we can also throw ourselves at these things as well. Taking risks, do something new, and getting uncomfortable are all ways of getting to know ourselves better.
Once we do, we'll find a better sense of self, and self-pride, and we can love ourselves more. The more we address what's going on inside, the better the world around us will feel. Know yourself, be yourself, love yourself." - Enough (a novel coming soon).
I try to remember I'm not the centre of anything, I'm a part of everything. When we see things from a bigger perspective, beyond our own, we won't take things personal as often as we do. We can build a healthy relationship with the rest of the universe, understand it's way, and work with it to achieve some of the things we want. Sometimes things will work out exactly as we like them, sometimes they won't, that's how it's always been, and that's how it'll always be. I remind myself this fact whenever I get overwhelmed and start to worry about things that don't deserve real estate in my brain. I hope these reflections help you with the same.
