Sometimes life’s challenges can be so overwhelming that we can’t imagine that there could be light at the end of the tunnel. Believe and Know that it does not matter how many times you fall… rejoice in the knowledge that life is the GIFT.
It does not matter who you are nor what is happening in your life right now, what matters is.. that it IS… that LIFE IS and that all experiences no matter how we label them good or bad serve as catalyst in personal growth.
I’ve had a few challenges that tested my WILL and CHARACTER… challenges that hurt so deep that while I was going through the experience it felt like I was in the darkest tunnel. Despite the loving voices on the outside, the journey was very personal and solitary.
When I was at my lowest, when I thought I could not cry any more, when the darkness had completely enveloped me – in the silence of my anguish I found the strength to get back up and face the person in the mirror.
As I looked in the mirror, I got up and looked at her from a different point of view, from the angle of experience; I looked at her and saw that despite the challenge and the grief… that I was there….’alive’. Alive to move on and start a new chapter.
Welcome the challenges for they help you build your character, experience the fall and know that you will rise again stronger and bolder.
