Alright, so we know life is going to challenge us. We know we are going to be faced with obstacles, and we will have to deal with problems.
That’s a given.
But what do we do when they come?
Do we rise to the challenge or do we fall?
Do we face it head on or do we run and hide?
Do we see that it’s helping us or think that life is just against us?
Do we accept it and figure out what we can do about it or do we look for who we can blame for it?
It can be tough to battle the hard knocks life throws at us.
The slaps in the face, the gut punches, the kick ya when you’re downs, the run your ass over with a semi truck, that backs up and does it again, just to finish the job…Sorry. I got a little carried away with that. HaHa. But it’s true. It can be tough to pick yourself up every time you get knocked down.
We have to know that every test or challenge is what makes us who we are. We might not know our strengths or resilience without overcoming our struggles.
I know a lot of people want to point blame at something or someone to justify why their life is not working. Some may find it easier to make excuses for why they stay stuck.
We see this everywhere! It’s in politics, social injustice, racism, corporate America.. It’s all over the place!!
BUT… the choice is always ours.
How do YOU want to be?
Do you want to blame, complain, be an angry victim and miserable? Trying to control what you can’t? Or.. Do you want to be resilient, strong, confident, happy, and winning at life? Taking control of what you can, your life and your actions.
I have been knocked down more times than I can count. There have been times that I did want to crawl into a corner, scrunch up into the fetal position and give up! But.. every time, I pick myself up, dust off my hiney, adjust my crown, and spread my tattered wings, and rise again.
Keeping focus on the silver lining and the benefit of everything. Each time, soaring to a new level of self awareness, confidence and possibility.
What’s your choice? Victim or Victor?
In love and light and being victorious!!
