Resilience

Feb 20, 2024

How long has it been since you hugged yourself? If you can’t answer that question, it’s been too long. Go ahead…while you are reading this…wrap your arms around yourself and give YOU a big hug. It’s ok. I’m here to support you.

 

We never realize how important it is to hug ourselves and gift our heart the peace we are needing to go forward. Sometimes we struggle so immensely because we fear we have no one. But I want to remind you that you have the greatest warrior in the world: YOU. The strength that comes from the broken parts of you will be the resilience you seek. At times it may feel as if the road is so lonely, broken and without a light. If you ask anyone out there, they all have traveled this road. It’s called growth. Growing hurts because it shows you who should be with you and who was there to see you fail. But growth has a huge impact on the history of your journey. It shows the world that you never gave up.

 

Sometimes we ask ourselves, “What are we doing wrong that everyone else seems to get right?” You do the same work, you suffer the same pain and you cry the same amount, but someone else is getting the easy side of things. Actually, the thing of it is, we all have our own fate in life and theirs is leading them to their own destination. Yours may have a longer time of hardship but it doesn’t mean you’re not worth it. It means you have more mastering of yourself to do before you arrive where you need to be. There’s no reason to compare yourself to someone else. You are doing a great job and you are where you need to be for now. But what will happen next will depend on your next move. That is what you need to prepare for and be unafraid to do.

 

As you hug yourself today, give yourself the permission to dream, to hope and to have faith. Every day is another chance to grow or it’s another day to fall behind. You choose your path and your calling but whatever you do, make sure you do it with heart, with growth and with faithfulness. I believe in you.
