Sometimes life gets like our messy closet. One thing at a time, it can turn into a big, disorganized mess and we look at and feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. But in the same way, one thing at a time, one right decision in the right direction at a time and we can clean it back up.
We just need to decide where we’re going, pick one thing to clean up, and then the next, and then the next. You don’t need to know all the steps to start, just the next one.
It feels like it’ll never be done, and it is often gets messier before it’s better because we have to pull everything out to decide what to keep and what to get rid of.
Sometimes we sit in the middle of the mess and feel like it’s hopeless and decide to shove it all back in the closet.
It may seem earlier for a while, but then we step on things that trip us up or hurt our feet or crap falls on our head or we can’t find anything, and we spend all our time handling only the emergencies as they happen. But they keep happening and it seems like it’ll never end.
I promise you; it will end! If we just make a mess on purpose. It seems counterproductive but pull it all out! Make the mess!! Decide what to keep and what to get rid of. Identify what is helpful to you becoming who you want to be and to get you where you want to go and, then, get rid of everything else.
Life gets messy. We make mistakes. We fall down. But then, we get back up! We rise! We make new choices, in new directions, and all the things, both good and bad, are used for good. At the least, we learn what not to do but more importantly, all the things develop strength, resilience, character, integrity, and wisdom. All the things chisel us into a masterpiece. All the things teach us who we are and who we are not and who we want to be.
These are irreplaceable lessons.
I believe that no matter what has been, you have a future of power and stability that will help a population of people that you can relate to better than anyone else.
You’re going to find your way out and then go back and show others the way out!
Now you need to believe in you!!
