You get to create what your reality is.
You can choose to accept just what fate has handed You
Or take all that hardship, tragedy and pain and transcend it.
Use your life (as Oprah says).
Tap into the emotions to fuel your creativity.
Or, drink til You are numb.
Blame other people for your perceived predicament and be angry
Or move through it. Help others to help yourself.
We are the stories we tell ourselves...

It is so easy to get stuck in grief.
It is so easy to get stuck in anger.
By being able to feel and process (and learning how) to move through those feelings will set You free.
I have spent decades mourning.
What did not come to pass.
Loved ones that died.
Betrayal of trusted relationships.
Only to arrive at today.
Truth is, You must choose wisely.
Love deeply.
And let go of that which is meant to remain in the past...

I'll admit that I have stayed too long at times.
I spent many years with partners who were so wrong for me.
I kept waiting for their 'potential' to show up
For the 'promises' to come true
For the lies to end.
Life is complicated by the reasons why we choose what we do.
I have stayed and endured terrible work places because I needed the money.
I have stayed and endured abusive behaviour disguised as love.
I have tolerated what is familiar, til I knew better.
Learning about all of that has increased my awareness.
Educated me. Healed me (once I left) and informed my next choices.
It is possible to want and love things not meant for You.
Once You know better, do better...

My love for You never ends.
What ends, is my attachment of You.
Yes, You have gone.
Yes, You have left me.
I grieve, I move on.
Emotional stuckness (if You will) is a trap that keeps You at a stand still.
There are times when it's appropriate to visit this, but don't remain there.
Do not find yourself living from and deciding from that place.
Everything that lives, must die, one day.
People, projects, events, situations and tragedy all have a certain shelf life.
You decide how long it will take.
Before You make a move...

A gratitude mindset will help You
Move through grief, regret, anger and other emotional pain that holds You back.
The only way out, is through...

If You reflect on the things You have lived through, You'd know that, indeed, You have what it takes.
I have survived child abuse, cruelty, indifference, domestic violence, a house fire, toxic partners, toxic workplaces, emotional abuse, loss and extreme poverty.
Some as a result of my choices.
Some as situational circumstances.
Truth is this is life. My life.
I have endured, only to learn.
I have suffered only to develop compassion.
Trust and forgiveness for one's self and others
Are teachers of wisdom, if You allow yourself to go there...

Feed your Soul.
Watch over exposure to negativity.
Avoid arguing online.
Get enough rest.
Exercise and meditate.
Read. Listen to music.
Keep learning. Keep moving forward.
Be cognizant of my inner dialogue with myself.
These are the habits I must remind myself to do daily.
For, as an emotional eater, it's easy to be addicted to things (and people) not good for me...
