Life has a way of sending storms into our lives that make us face how harsh reality can be.
Setbacks, mistakes, and missteps might cause us to stumble.
Failures, hurdles, and disappointments might sneak up on us.
Losses, rejection, and exclusion might catch us by surprise.
How do we move forward from these?
It depends — on how we decide to pick ourselves back up, dust ourselves off, look at and accept where we are. We must face the reality of life that is causing us to change somehow, whether we’re ready to or not.
I faced challenges and struggles from separation and divorce.
Yet, we face other life struggles that leave us with similar questions.
What now?
How do I let go of what I had?
How do I move forward?
What will this new life hold for me?
If others can get "there", will I be able to get "there" too?
What does "there" even look like for me anyway?
As I wrestled with finding answers to these questions, I learned key inspirations:
Cultivate the grace and courage to let go
Step boldly into new beginnings waiting for me
Seek perspectives, insights, and wisdom from others
I want to share with you the struggles, the grace, the courage, and the wisdom I gained from my experiences. I hope that you too may understand that troubling and challenging difficulties in our lives can make us aware of hidden blessings and joy.
Whatever challenge we face, there are possibilities out there for us to claim.
There are hidden blessings waiting to move our life forward.
Blessings that we never thought we could imagine or deserve.
If we are ready and bold enough to step forward to grasp them.
