Bereavement
Place yourself in a situation where you’ve suddenly lost your spouse. We’ll say they were the love of your life. Now you have three days to make arrangements, go to the wake, go to the funeral, and deal with the new reality of having no partner. While also trying to figure out your next move, for not only you but in some cases, your kids. The stress and depression can be crushing, but hey three days later you better be at work, and please don’t have a meltdown.
2021 Was a Gift
Facebook has reminded me in the last few days of 2021 that we’ve been having tough years as far back as 2016. I’m not making light of struggles and strife, it is just strengthening us to be more resilient. I admit 2020 was a total suck fest for most of us. However, I made it through. The end of 2020 helped me come to where I knew I needed to make changes. It gave me the courage to take the leap in 2021
It Used To Be Easy
We look at our limitations and see what appears to be mountains to overcome. Sometimes, that’s very true, but in other cases, it’s only our mind that is setting those limitations. Yet, we allow others to determine our limitations. We learn that lesson at a very young age when our parents and teachers set expectations they have for us. Is it wrong that our parents wanted us to succeed? Is it wrong for us to do the same to our children?
