It can be difficult moving past things, but hopefully you are proud of the work you are making on yourself. I know any type of healing is a win for you and your soul. We all need those kinds of wins and relief. The things we go through can seem so difficult, but understand that if we take the time, we can try to heal ourselves from anything. We all go through our types of stuff and at teams it beats down on you or feels like an anchor on us we cannot move away from. When we can have it under control and not hurting our lives and the things we have built, then we can finally relax for the moment. When something tough happens do you share it with others to feel supported, or do you deal with it on your own? Things are always going to happen, so it is up to us to face them. Pain can be a motivator, its inspiration, but certainly not a relief from life. Never torture yourself over the things you have gone through. Use it for uplifting purposes only and try to find meaning in the things that have happened to you. Life can get good and exciting and bring you back awake. Remember to pick yourself up when a bad moment comes or bad though comes. Think about some of your best memories and what they made you feel like. You know when you feel something good and can remember being happy and living in the moment. Whatever is going to happen will happen and I will be there to enjoy the show. The different things you could be doing right now: from sailing the world on a cruise, to taking in a baseball game in North America. From enjoying the worlds best foods to enjoying the worlds best company. The things that can pick you up each day our surprising. Have you have thought even something as simple as a pizza could make your day. I mean it better be one surprisingly good pizza, but you never know what ends up relaxing you. I feel stress and anxiety most of my days, so to those that do not be thankful for the lack of noise coming at you. We do not need to be battling anybody. Whether it is battling ourselves, or battling our neighbors it is never a good move. Nobody is preventing you from the life you dream. Nobody is saying they want to stop you at all costs. Even if they were thinking that they already lost. Time is precious and when you spend your time on the things that are not important, you can never get the time back. When I focus for three hours on how Dave is doing and what he is doing I have already lost. You can look at others for motivation, but even then, it becomes a slippery slope. The focus begins and ends with one person you and what you care about. Power to accept life as it is and to accept yourself as you are. Nobody will stand in your way by doing this.
