My Story

They say "what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger" What they forget to mention is that it is a choice to use your pain as a tool. It is a choice to dig beneath the chaos and find the lesson, it is a choice what we do with our circumstances and the truth is, that's about as much control as we truly have. There is positive and negative in everything, we are conditioned to focus on the negative and often miss the positive, but its still there.  Throughout of lifetime we are often so focused on the surface level issues that we hardley remember that they are happening for a reason. 

Personally for me, I got to a point where it had been so hard for so long without any reason that I had to dig deeper, I had to make sense of it. Why was it one battle after another after another? Why were the same themes continuing to resurface out of nowhere? The moment i stopped asking  "why is this happening to me" and started asking "what is this teaching me" everything changed. 

We have very little control over the circumstances, but we do have all of the control over how we want to perceive our current obstacles.
