When we focus on the struggles of our lives, we feel defeated.
When we focus on the growth, we feel empowered to overcome future obstacles.
But we’re human. We doubt ourselves and sometimes we feel entitled to peace.
In the process, we create self-fulfilling prophecies by growing despondent when things go wrong, rather than looking for the opportunities to create something better.
We limit our ability to overcome obstacles by telling ourselves that there is a limit to what we’re capable of dealing with.
Rather than embracing the challenges without preempting the outcomes, we end up focusing on how close we are to that limit that we set for ourselves and then grow defensive the moment we believe things are getting too close to it.
That’s how we prevent ourselves from trying beyond a certain point, and that’s how we grow to believe that some things are impossible to overcome.
Sometimes, when things seem like they’re falling apart, they may just be falling into place. But when we fixate on what’s falling apart, we deny ourselves the opportunity to see how it may be contributing towards our dreams and goals that were being hindered by what we had in the first place.
Breathe, beloved. And let faith, not fear, guide you through the storm.
