One beautiful thing you can do on this week is to show gratitude for your own story. Not everything is “picture-perfect”, but that “picture” can become “perfected” through the maturity that come from our growing pains. I used to have a bad habit of comparing my life to other people because I thought my life was just “plain boring”. Despite the scars and the hard lessons, I thought my life had to resemble a beautiful art gallery with no issues or cracks. I came to realization that an “art gallery” is full of “works of art” not manufactured pieces. So, my story is just like that…. a work of art.
The jewel that I received from my story is that I learned that I deserve and can have better. If it wasn’t for the bad choices in picking people to be in relationships with or to be friends with, then I would not desire to actually have a circle of people that are full of love to only be around me as my community/family. If it wasn’t for settling for job opportunities that were really less than what I was striving for, then I would not have the desire to go after more. So, what am I saying? The heartbreak. The rejection. The disappointment. All taught me that it is better to live a life of peace, healing, and joy. So that’s my prayer for my life…. I’m thankful for the scars so I can enter my future as an overcomer….
As always feel free to share your thoughts…What are you grateful for on this week?
