The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – strength. “There is tremendous strength in growing our world through sharing together, hoping together & working together” – Mother Teresa
“Just like a muscle needs to tear to grow stronger, sometimes we need to wade into our own darkness to find a brighter light” – Lori Deschene. Often, we need to journey into the deepest, darkest & most painful places inside us to feel, listen, learn & grow. We can create a lot of stories in our head. These stories become limiting beliefs that we carry around for a long time. Beliefs like, “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t have a say,” “I need to prove that I’m worthy,” “I need to be perfect” (just to name a few).
None of us are immune to the fears & self doubt that pop up when life happens. All the negative self talk that keeps us stuck, happens to re-surface. If, we can stay committed to the path of personal growth, we can see how all of the pain & struggles that we have been through actually happened for us, not to us. All of it was for a reason.
Everything that we’ve been through, every challenge that has kept us away from what we want the most in life, it’s all within our power to improve or change. If we decide that we do deserve it. Healing is not linear. There will be highs & lows, laughs & tears, moments of total bliss & moments of complete uncertainty. But, our inner strength, our intuitive core is there through it all, to see us come out stronger. Cheering us on from the sidelines, always there for support. Because, on the other side of the fear, pain & darkness, lies our solace, serenity, strength & success.
