I started with the question… “ why do we have to do the things we don’t like “ . I’ve had to face uncomfortable situations recently, in doing things I really just don’t wanna do , because of situations I just don’t wanna be in .
I had to take a step back and re-evaluate that question . Like a really BIG step back . I’m the one who put myself in the unwanted situation, so why should I be angry at the fact I have to retrace my steps back now ?
Well I’ve come to the conclusion it’s all apart of my learning journey, learning where and what I don’t want to be .
Instead of thinking negatively and beating myself up about it , I’ve decided to look at the situation differently .
If life was all easy and everything went our way , how would we grow and evolve to be the person we were meant to be … well we wouldn’t , we wouldn’t have the same learnings and self discovery as a person who trekked the harder path.
I keep reminding myself with all the hardship comes a great reward . Changing my way of thinking is critical at this point … instead of “ I don’t want want to be here“ it’s needed to change too “ this is exactly where I need to be , this is my path I must walk or crawl“ .
A blessing in disguise , although I may hate and loath this part of my story right now , i know it will only make me stronger . I need to walk the hard yard ( and stay on it ! ) to get to where I want to be . Thinking back to past hardships and experiences , they were the times that taught me the most , that turned me into a strong resilient women . So changing the mindset now from negative to positive is imperative.
Lesson 26 : It’s the journey through the hard times that teach us who we are .
