Job loss. Chronic pain. Death of spouse. Illness. Cancer. Fibromyalgia. Traffic jam when you are trying to get home.
So much of life is out of our control. Life is going to go about its business whether we like it or not. We have choices around how we want to live it. This does not mean what is troubling us isn't important. It is important. This does not mean it cannot impact us. Life often does impact us.
Sometimes it is a matter of how we want to view our circumstances. Sometimes it is not so simple as changing our viewpoint and we need to go to a trusted friend, therapist, pastor, spouse. Sometimes it takes a while before the sting of our situation goes away. Sometimes quite a while.
Give yourself a moment to image what life will be like when you are past whatever is difficult. Imagine it in the fullest detail. Nothing lasts forever, not this bad day, not this difficult moment.
Be well,
Rebecca
