i often think about my life today and how it’s different from yesterday/last year/ten years ago.
just a year ago i was sick with stress. i was so stressed that i lost my voice for about 2 months. i thank God that i had a great assistant who was able to handle client calls.
anyway, i got to thinking…
- 35 years ago i was born
- 10 years ago i was a stay-at-home mom, nursing my son
- 5 years ago i was in love, married and in pittsburgh with my now ex-hubby for his father’s funeral
- 1 year ago i was sick, stressed, isolated and in a bad business situation
- today i can say i’ve figured a lot of things out and i’m in a good place
A LOT has changed (many family members have passed, my son lives with his dad in another state, i’m divorced and now work for myself). but looking back at the good and bad times i realize that it all happened/happens for a reason.
- the good times were/are for memories and pursuit.
- the hard times were/are lessons to put me where i am now
on a journey. happier. confident. successful.
so if you’re going through some things today (or a long season), trust that it’s all for a reason. i know it’s not easy. i’ve done my share of blaming and feeling sorry for myself.
it’s taken some time, but i now realize that the universe gives me what i need (great friends, skills, drive and health). i don’t always get what i want (and i want a lot), but i’ve been given what i need to obtain, create and pay for what i want.
are you using what you’ve been given or are you too busy complaining and blaming?
think about it.
