You know that everyone has their story to tell. Each person goes through their own hardships in this lifetime, and everyone will determine the level of difficulty that the experience has had on them. It is not up to someone else to judge if it was a tough experience or not in relation to how much they have experienced.
Challenges and difficulties are the wonders of our lives that make us unique. They are opportunities for us to grow and get stronger. Strength is a valuable trait that is inherently in us over many generations. As times change, so does the level of challenges. What we are going through right now is nothing like what people experienced many eras before us as our society has become lazy with respects to our natural hunter gatherer state. Convenience has made the drive and ambition to work for our food fall on the wayside because now we just go to the grocery store. Feeling comfortable makes people want to shy away from doing the hard work that is required when we experience difficulties so we fall into depression until we choose to change.
When we experience hardship we should look at it as an experience in which to learn from. I had lived through a mentally, physically and verbally abusive relationship in my youth. It was a confusing time and I had often wondered how did that happen to me? I then switched my way of thinking from how did it happen to me, to what or how can I approach my life without repeating the same patterns that led me to this predicament. What was going on in my world that made me choose a person who would treat me so badly. These are really tough questions and the answers don’t come to you within an hour. Remember the relationship took a while to show it’s true colors, your inner truth will also require time and patience in order to heal the wounds. Learn to forgive yourself.
You can’t expect to have a better relationship if you do not change things such as your insecurities that led you down your path. You are not a victim of circumstances, you are the writer of your own story and only you have the ability to change the ending.
This is how I can help you decipher some things that are blocking your way forward in the direction that you have dreamt about. If you can come up with a plan, you can move yourself in the direction of inner peace and write a new chapter of your book.
