When things don’t go your way, it’s really hard to focus on the good.
When the thoughts and plans that you had in your head don’t manifest the way you envisioned, it becomes really difficult to get out from the rabbit hole of despair.
When all your hopes and dreams seem crushed (dramatic), your future life erased (overly dramatic), and your optimistic self plummeting to the ground (super dramatic), it may seem like all hope is lost.
And for a second, it is.
For a brief moment in time, everything is suspended. Your heart drops. Your anger soars. Your thoughts droop. Your head spins.
For that split instant, everything is out of focus.
But then…
You reassess.
You reexamine.
You reevaluate.
You allow all the feelings to pass through you – The disappointment. The anger. The betrayal. The hatred. The mourning. The defeat. The hopelessness. The despair.
And you let it go.
You move on.
And above all else, you remain grateful.
For no matter what life journey you may be on, no matter what twist and inevitable jerky turn the universe has in store for you – YOU are resilient and YOU will get through this.
This is just a mere chapter in your novel of existence, and it’s time to turn the page.
