You will be OK.
And you can be, do, have anything.
First, always remember who you are. Life will try to tell you differently. Remember the big picture. Remember it is a game. Remember the power you have, and know your power lies in your choices, in your decisions. Exercise your power often.
Life is going to happen.
Sometimes it will be the things you didn’t see coming.
Sometimes, it will be things seemingly unrelated to your life.
Things happen. It is the nature of life. The game of life.
And when those things happen, it is in those moments, you are defined. But note, the moments, the situation, the circumstances do not define you. What defines you are your choices in the moments.
You get to choose. And you get to choose again. You will be OK.
For many years I didn’t get that. The power in choosing, and choosing again. I understood it intellectually. But I didn’t really get it. Not in my soul.
And once upon a time, I would perceive it as years lost. Years when I couldn’t find traction in my life because I could not understand where the clarity I had earlier in my life had gone. And I hesitate to use the word lost because during that detour I grew and in hindsight, nothing is ever truly lost.
The best sentence I have ever heard is: “Everything happens for you, not to you.”
There will be challenges. But whether it’s hard, or not. Whether you suffer, or not is always choice. And you get to choose.
Take a breath. Choose again.
YOU WILL BE OK.
Also, breathe.
Make memories.
Don’t be so focused on the end result you miss out on the journey.
Feel the sun on your skin.
Listen to the wisdom of your elders, and your peers.
Practice discernment.
Trust yourself. (This is important. Take the time to sit still and listen to you.)
Celebrate your life.
Start walking, work out, lift weights, move your body….start early so it will become a habit. (You can thank me later.)
Laugh with your friends.
Love
Learn the lessons
And most importantly - have fun.
Til next time,
You got this.
Love always,
Me
