Sugar and spice and everything nice? I just couldn’t resist! That nursery rhyme keeps playing in my head!
But seriously, so many people have expectations of life that are unrealistic. People don’t want to deal with their problems, they think life should always be easy. Of course, I feel there are times that are easier than others. Here is what I have learned…
I remember the days that I couldn’t leave the house or drive in a car or work and felt absolutely hopeless from anxiety and panic attacks. It was when I felt like I had hit rock bottom and I felt that things would never get any better, I dug deeper. I found an unbelievable amount of courage and bravery I never knew was there. I had really tough conversations that needed to happen. I found an unstoppable drive and determination to not settle for life passing me by. I found a limitless amount of faith in the universe that everything was all going to work out that I never knew was there before.
I found the true, authentic, powerful me! The me that doesn’t EVER give up!
Have you ever had an experience like that? An experience that at the time seemed like the toughest thing you have ever been through, but really was one of the greatest blessings?
When you are faced with life’s greatest challenges, that is when you learn, grow, and change the most! It is in those moments that you realize what you are truly made of! I feel that is an unbelievably important experience to see what you really have deep down inside to get through the other side of a problem. That’s when you are really building your muscles to be able to handle anything life throws at you.
It’s easy to be happy and grateful when everything is easy. What really helps you grow is to be able to be happy and grateful in the toughest of times, that is what will get you through faster!
