Life is so much isn’t it. What I mean by that, is sometimes it’s hard to express the wonder of it all but at other times it’s just, too much. I look at myself often and where I am, where I’ve come from and where I am going and know that my desire is to become more whole each day.
I am just me, I am nobody else, I am responsible for me, my decisions, my actions, my thoughts and my words. But irrespective of where I have come from, I am and always will be a work in progress.
At times I scream inside for wanting to be more whole, that I might be more able and equipped to deal with some of the people that make up our world. Don’t get me wrong I love people but it is so hard at times to be strong in the midst of adversity, of pain, when others controlling methods cause heart ache, distress and even desperation.
People are what cause frustration, joy, excitement, friendship, great company, laughter, devastation, loss, unconditional love and enormous pain. People are what it’s all about and are the reason so many are rising higher and higher, while others are in the depths of the gutter. Where hearts are crushed and minds corrupted, or where there is unity and the building of relationships across the world.
But me, where am I today, my heart aching for so many, my confidence fluctuating as I try to retain my grip. The world is a mess, the planet struggling, selfishness so rife and greed at another level. But tomorrow is a new day and there is still so much blessing.
I remind myself regularly that life is a gift and it’s been given to us, so we need to be bold in our responses, be courageous and stand tall, we need to remind ourselves often that we are special, worthy, of value and unique and that no amount of selfishness, cruelty, unpleasantness and pain thrown our way needs stop us from knowing our worth and our purpose. That even though there maybe people who edify and build us up, we must continue to believe in who we are, attempt to be the best version that we can and allow ourselves to know contentment and peace as we walk the journey we call life.
