What
is your ability to bounce back from life's harder realities? Bouncing
back is that phenomenal strength we have within us to get up, find the
positive and keep moving. Life is ultimately a circular process where
we lose and then gain and then we lose and then gain. Every loss can be
a gain if we are willing to look for the gifts. Every painful place is
designed to take us to a better place but we have to be willing to
bounce back. When we do this we will see every negative event, person,
or relationship as a masterful teacher and life coach who taught us
through the avenue of pain, loss and heartache to keep better boundaries
and to stay true to ourselves. This is what bouncing back means. You
have to hit the wall and get back up again. We also have to accept
reality. If we argue with it we will suffer. We have to look at our
current situation and figure out a way to make it livable...not
tolerable but livable...find ways to make it meaningful. Pay attention
to what you learned from smacking into that wall so you can create a
better future for yourself. Never ever let any loss take away your
life, your self-worth or your passions. Work hard to keep those in
check. They are yours and belong to no one else. When you crash...get
up! Let go and move on...there is freedom in this. Bounce back and
find the gratitude.
