I ❤️ these thoughts.
Did you know that you get to choose your thoughts?
Sometimes we think I feel this way because of _________________ and what they did or said.
But it’s really how WE are choosing to think about what THEY did that causes us pain.
Sometimes it’s hard to ride the waves of emotions.
Sometimes they knock us down.
And just when we think we’ve got our footing another one comes crashing again.
Sometimes it’s painful when others grind against our sharp edges but if we lean into it, it can make us smooth.
It takes courage to just be, to be immovable like a stone whose movement is caused by the sea or wind or someone plucking you up and displacing your heart from where you were hiding out under some sand. Safe.
But safe is never fun.
It takes faith and trust to allow others into our inner world, because nothing is guaranteed, and rejection is always a possibility.
But that’s what makes the acceptance, appreciation even, so sweet 🥹🥰❤️
Life is hard, but it’s also beautiful 🐚
