“Acknowledging the good you already have in you is the foundation for all abundance” - Eckhart Tolle
This quote came to mind recently as I talked to several people dealing with managing adversity in their lives. This week alone, I’ve talked to people that are losing their homes, dealing with devastating break ups and are struggling with their career. All of them all have the same feelings - I’m a failure, I’m not worth love and success just seems to be out of my reach.
Now I’m not going to sit here and say that no one should ever take blame for the mistakes in money mis-management, relationships or career issues - self analysis is part of the growth process and is critical for positive self change. The problem comes in when our growth opportunities define us and our self worth - and we lose sight of all that is good within us.
The fact is that bad things happen in life. And when the bad things happen, we can either turn on ourselves or we can learn and grow.
When life hands you a growth opportunity, take a step back and stay faithful to yourself. Realize that mistakes - no matter how severe or often - don’t define us. We are all unique, individuals learning how to live with responsibility, emotions and each other. Thinking that we’ll be successful at managing all of that naturally is a complete farce. It takes dedication, time and an intense amount learning.
You have good in you right now. You have happiness inside of you right now. And you have growth opportunities to learn from right now. Put your guard down, realize your own beauty and dive into the beautifully difficult process of life.
To the road of happiness,
Michelle
