One day you'll look back

One day, you'll look back, and realize that all the challenges and all the hardship have lead you to the most beautiful place.

I'll admit, when I was in

the midst of a challenging season of my life, this quote made me mad.

UNTIL I LEARNED the power of changing my thoughts, patterns and values in my life.

I realized I wasn't mad AT the circumstance that I was in, I was mad that I ALLOWED myself to get in it. I was mad that I

didn't listen to my gut. I was mad that I let it be ok to have my boundaries trampled all over. Because I "should have known better."

Here's the thing, we have the power to choose the circumstances in our life. No one actively chooses to be poor, lonely, miserable or suffer. It is our choices that determine where our path leads us too.

I don't say this to be harsh, but this is a tough lesson I had to learn, in order to be able to move forward in a more positive direction.

When I was in my first marriage, I used to focus all my attention on what was going wrong, because well....there was a lot more going wrong then was going right. I would wake up and count the empty bottles that my ex drank the night before. I would get mad at the mess that he left in the house (even if it was just his socks in the living room). I would tell anyone who would listen about the problems I wa

s experiencing. They would listen, and give me advice. But I chose not to listen. I chose to stay in the narrative, because it was comfortable, I didn't think I was worthy of anything else, and to be quite honest, I was addicted to the drama. So naturally I attracted MORE to complain about.

Now, in my marriage, I focus all my attention on what is going right. Because there is more that goes right then wrong - by a landslide! I have done a complete 180 shift of my life. I wake up and express gratitude for my life, my health, my home, and my relationships. I spend my day on activities that light me up and fuel my purpose. I use my voice to share my story to inspire other women that they can do t

he same! I choose to listen to what I NEED first, because I know that when my needs are filled, I can serve the other wonderful people in my life. So what happens? I naturally attract MORE to CELEBRATE!!!

This wasn't a process that happened quickly. In fac

t, it has taken me cumulatively 17 years to learn this lesson.

It may seem simple, but it requires dedication to unravelling from the fears, conditioning and limiting beliefs that have been placed upon us.

Now I know the power of that quote. Now I have figured out how to harness my energy for good, and when challenges come, I trust that one day, I will be able to look back and be so grateful for them, for they have shaped me into the woman I have become.
