There have been times that life has thrown us a curve
ball. Sometimes that curve ball hits us right in the face, hard.
The initial blow will have us go through different phases such as pain, anger,
sadness and eventually in some cases acceptance. However, sometimes we
allow pain to linger longer than it should; our anger turns into resentment and
sadness turn into depression.
As we start the grieving process we must allow ourselves to
move on. As painful as your situation might have been you need to realize
that it’s passed and there isn’t anything that happens to us that we can’t
learn from.
You might be thinking right now that I don’t know what it
feels like to have lost a loved one, or to fear the person who is supposed to
protect you; you might think that I don’t know what it feels like to fear
for your life and or what it feels like to be physically, verbally and sexually
abused. And even then these are not the worst things that have happened
to one human being. There are many people out there that have had a much
more challenging life than mine.
Many of us allow these events in our lives to affect us for
years. We carry it with us on a daily basis, we have nightmares of our
abuser, we are resentful against those who we thought should have protected
us. We are angry with ourselves for not doing more about it. We
take it out on others who don’t deserve it. We put up invisible walls and
refuse to let the world in. We convince ourselves that we are not worthy
of happiness. Ultimately we punish ourselves for the sins of
others.
Don’t allow that to be you. Don’t allow yourself to
carry the past around for another minute. Whatever experiences your life
has brought you, allow yourself to learn from them. Turn anger into
passion and passion into visions, turn visions into goals and goals into
realities! Let go of the past and embrace your future!
