“My sadness taught me to seek answers and dig deep for truth; and when I came up with nothing, it pushed me to take one step forward.”

We have a choice in life. To take what comes and make it work for us or lay down and die. I have to admit there have been times in my life when the latter sounded better, but no. Somehow I knew to ride it out, to face the pain and deal with it in a real and palpable way.

I have spent most of my life searching for meaning, looking for answers, learning and seeking understanding. That foundation has instilled within me strength and courage, and a belief in myself that helped me through hard times. It gave me knowledge, taught me tolerance, and opened my eyes to love. These were my keys, but we must each find our own keys to unlock the individual challenges and mysteries of life. It’s really up to you. Seek out truth and answers, seriously don’t be daft about this life. Be willing to look at all your shit and deal with it head on. Lose your fear. And most importantly, believe in yourself. It’s a strong will and determination that will carry you through.

Happy Monday, or what ever this day is where you are!

XOXOXOXO
