What is One “Silver Lining” to Come Out of a Terrible Situation in Your Life?
You might have more than one if you are paying attention.
Let’s just say the last 2 years of my life haven’t been kind to me. It’s involved a lot of self-sabotage, chasing a very manipulative person, and many self-doubts.
Two years ago, I didn’t see much positive in my life. I was repeating the same self-inflicted cycle of self-torture up until last week. I am learning I am the biggest obstacle in my life, not other people, places, or things.
The thing is, two years ago, I thought that was the life I would settle and accept. But in reality, it was a way of life I chose, and I had other options.
- I have control over all my actions.
- I have control of who I associate with and keep in my life.
- I have control of how I react in all situations.
- I have control of my choices.
- Better yet, I’m aware of what I control and what I don’t. That is the key to change.
I fuck up a lot. I do a lot of dumb shit, say a lot of dumb shit, and sometimes live an erratic life. But I’m learning.
There has to come a time when you put all life lessons into action. No matter how…
