Who have you become because of the trials you've faced?
Sometimes you're going along, feeling strong and confident in yourself, your business, your abilities...And then there comes soul crushing defeat. Failure. Heart wrenching set backs.
Heart sick is a horrible feeling. It's hard to find hope. It's easy to feel lost. Where can you even go from here? The only thing you can do is take another step forward.
These sort of events always spur change of some sort. Mostly inner change, and we have to learn how to fail gracefully...learn from our mistakes, or realize that we can't have control over everything. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, things still go sideways. And that's okay!
Sometimes, these seemingly crushing disappointments inspire us and lead us to somewhere greater, maybe somewhere completely different than we thought.
One thing you can count on though, is that everyone faces disappointments, heartbreak, and failure at some point. What you choose to do with it is what matters.
If you're in the midst, keep going. This too shall pass. The air will clear and you'll find direction again. You'll look back realizing you're stronger and wiser, and know yourself a little better. Trust the Lord; He's shaping you for the wonderful blessings He has in store. ❤️
