Going Through... Moving on... Having Hope

If you are going through a hard time, try your best not to complain. Acknowledge your pain or frustration, derermine how you can improve your situation and/or your mindset and get on with your life.

"Moving on" is not living in denial. Rather, it is taking ownership of what is to come. If we don't do that we risk letting what went wrong (or what we think was wrong) overshadow what did and can still go right. You cannot hold your future in hands that are filled with yesterday's pain.

Misery loves company, but please do not be tempted to call everyone you know and give them your sob story. As much as they love you, ain't nobody got time for that. If you truly need to let it out, cry, pray, meditate, journal, find someone you trust and empty yourself, but be cautious of using other people's minds and spirits as your personal toxic waste dump.

Be Light. Be Grace. Be Truth. Be Love. Know that you will attract what you cultivate. The Bible says of the topics of our thoughts that if there is virtue or praise we should think on these things. There's a reason for that.  Things of virtue and praise feed our faith. We feel powerful when we have hope.

Things will get better, if you let them get better.

Blessings...
