If you knew with complete assurance that you would reach where you were meant to be, no matter what – would the setbacks still feel like failure? To what degree would each step backward would only be part of your journey forward? These are things I remind myself, when I feel like I’m stuck in the same cycle in my life again. Perspective matters.
I have to remind myself it is impossible for one to live in the exact moment again. The mercy of time is that it moves us forward no matter what. Every good moment, every bad moment, every triggering moment will pass. One simply has to let time take the lead. And remind themselves they will never be exactly in the same moment again – though maybe similar circumstances.
This is something I’ve told myself to give myself comfort and safety when I feel like I’m stuck. There is still work to do, to remember as a human being – I will feel hurt even I understand all of these things. The next step is to simply love and accept how I am feeling, despite any understandings.
Take your own hand and hold it in this moment.
