On today, I had a beautiful conversation with my wise mother. I was on the phone with her discussing “parental woes”, because raising children especially on your own do come with challenges. As I was expressing myself to her, she reminded me of how much control I actually have when it comes to certain situations. Sometimes we do run to blame other people or circumstances for the reason why things are going so terrible but fail to understand that WE have the power to “change course”. For me, I struggled with both condemnation and blame, because I was very resentful about certain things that were said about me, and life experiences that were difficult to walk through at the time. Looking back, I honestly wish I had a different perspective about things to avoid the time I wasted, but still grateful that those experiences birthed this fight in me to “desire better”. You and I are not weaklings. Every human being on this Earth has the gift of choice. You do not have to stay down and depressed. You do not have to stay in an abusive relationship/toxic friendship. You can change jobs to better your financial position. You can invest more into your relationships with your family, and construct a healthy, and whole atmosphere for your children. YOU CAN GET TIRED OF LIVING A STALLED AND FRUITLESS LIFE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SETTLE IN YOUR LIFE.
Also, let me add this in as well….Life DO come with both ups and downs, but we have to learn how to ride the waves and take control of our reaction to those ups and downs. I had to remind myself that I can take control over my life by not allowing procrastination, laziness, past shame, doubt, opinions, and even myself to stop the flow of my life. I have control.
As always, feel free to share your thoughts and have a great night, overcomers!
