I’ve had a lot of personal challenges over the years. The past 3 years have been particularly difficult for me. I’ve been learning a lot! Learning how to use my personal power to change myself, rather than my circumstances. I’ve been learning what love is. I’ve been learning patience and acceptance of others and myself. Overall, I’ve been learning who I am in a much deeper way.
What helps me get through the tough times is focusing on what I’m learning as opposed to how difficult the situation is. No matter what is going on in your life, what you focus on is far more important than what is actually happening because what you focus on is what determines the outcome. If you focus on the hell that is happening, then its easy to feel defeated and like you can’t make it through. But if you focus on the lessons that you are getting out of the situation, how much better you’re going to be after this is over, it makes those challenges look less like hindrances and more like excellent opportunities to become a better person. –love, sj
