How can you make it through the tough
times?
I think back to when I was lying in
hospital with bolts in my head and weights pulling to keep my spine straight, I
wondered to myself how did I ever get through that.
At the time I had a shattered neck (yes
those are my real X-rays) broken back, broken arm, crushed foot and half my
calf muscle with third degree burns. I could not walk, I could not move for
that matter. All I had was belief; I had an unshakable belief that I would walk
out of hospital no matter what. I didn’t know how or how long it would take I
just new.
“Mile
by mile it’s a trial, yard by yard its hard but inch by inch it’s a cinch” -
Unknown
Think of all you have overcome in your life
- family issues, health issues and great loss. You have strength; you are a
warrior and deserve to acknowledge yourself for this. Don’t let anyone ever
tell you otherwise, especially yourself. You are stronger than you could ever
imagine.
“There
is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss,
contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the
next time.” - Malcolm X
The will always be tough times, life isn’t
easy for anyone. It is a choice on how we react and cope with adversity that
shapes who we are; it defines us and strengthens our character. Show empathy to
those around you because you never know what they could be going through.
“Character
cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and
suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success
achieved.” - Helen Keller
When I look back at some of the trivial
issues that have got me down or diverted me of my path I can’t help wonder why.
Why did I let them affect me so much, at the time they seemed to be huge
issues.
Ask
yourself this question – Will this matter in a year from now? Don’t sweat the
small stuff” – Richard Carlson.
