Have you ever been sick and you didn't know why you felt so terrible day after day, and you said to yourself,
"At this point I don't care what it is I just want to know something so I can do something about it!?
I felt like the life I had been living lately was "sick" and I felt terrible day after day and I just wanted to know why. I had my theories and I blamed a whole lot of people, but in the end I figured out the "diagnosis". I am not happy to know my affliction but, am so happy to simply have an answer so that I may move on.
I play the victim too much.
I dwell on the bad too much.
I don't forgive enough.
I hold grudges.
I preach.
I don't support my husband enough.
I don't realize how blessed I am.
I don't connect with the people I love enough.
I lash out instead of look inward.
I assume I know what people are thinking.
I don't ask others about how they are doing.
I suddenly have become aware of these faults. For the first time in my life I wasn't insulted when they were brought to my attention. I am now aware enough to fix them to the best of my ability. I feel like I have a fresh start. I love that I have this sudden ability to accept my faults and move on knowing that they can be fixed. I don't know how it is working, but I'm going to run with it for now.
"I love people who have been through adversity and heartache and obstacles as impossible as the sun itself. They usually make it out with hearts as warm as gold. Cores made of fire. Lives soaked with full intention. Hope like another morning. They know how to start again- how to walk through walls with palms wide open, and how to begin at the edge, and end. Those to me, are the best people." ~Victoria Erickson
