When everything goes silent & as the lights go off the darkness prevails.The reality finally kicks in. At this point I am faced by my deepest fears, insecurities & many other thoughts 💭 I’d rather not have.Myriads of thoughts cascade through mind paralyzing my whole self but who could ever save me from me ??If I was a Lion then a ranger would have come to my rescue but this ?!AS THEY SAY there lay two lions in my head but there’s only one that can win the one I feed …so what thoughts do I decide to feed?
We all battle these thoughts at some point the thoughts of not being good enough ,not thing beautiful/ugly ,rejection ,the Ls you had to take that day ,what you should have said and what you shouldn’t have but what we do not realize that is already In the last and it is not something we can fix at that particular moment.It is up-to us to know that what kind of thoughts we want to fuel in our minds and overcome them
Though we do not like it, everyone feels broken at some point in their life journey. Often when we find ourselves at this place of despair, we do not know what to do and so we can end up living our life through our fear, regret, pain, disillusionment and sadness. This is not the way our lives are meant to be lived.
In today’s world of constant change, it is hard to hold on to who you are and manage the complexity and unpredictability of life. The one constant thing in our lives today is change.
For us to live our lives to the fullest, the only way we can achieve this is by overcoming the challenges that life throws at us. We have to experience the pain, the betrayal, the adversity, the feelings of hopelessness and the despair in life, because how else do we learn about who we are?
They say time heals. Many have been hurt but many remain bitter.There is something bigger than ourselves that empowers us to heal, to let go. That is the love of the God I’ve come to know. His love makes our grudges petty. This is all very intense sounding but along with these gems, will be funny moments that I hope you will come to see what I mean. Whether funny or intense, this blog will be unapologetic in the fact that I’m now on the “other side” because of the very simple fact that my God is the one who makes all things new and restores even the most broken of us beautifully.
There is no other way for us to learn how to be resilient, courageous, hopeful and optimistic about life and our future.
It is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.” — Dr Leon C. Megginson

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. When we are feeling so broken inside, we want to hide away from the world. Sometimes, it is because we feel embarrassed, or we believe that people won’t understand what we are going through.
The support, advice and encouragement from others helps us to overcome adversity and solve problems in our life.
It is the energy and wisdom from friends, family and supporters that fuels our courage and our desire to take action to change our lives for the better.
Your thoughts fuel how you feel about your life. When you feel broken in your life, it will be your negative thoughts that dictate your feelings of sadness, disillusionment and unhappiness. When you feel joy and happiness, your positive thoughts of hope and self belief will support more of these feelings.
The key to managing your negative thoughts is to practice trying to distance yourself from these thoughts and observe them rather than react automatically to them.
