=======================================================
DISCLAIMER: The following are my thoughts, reflections and personal realizations as I go about this journey we call life. I am a Catholic and I am a believer of God and Jesus Christ and whatever I write, I write clinging to that belief and it is what moves and motivates me. I do understand that you may or may not share in this belief. I fully appreciate that. I do hope that we are able to respect each others beliefs/opinions. In case you do not agree with what I am talking about, I ask that you please refrain from answering with hurtful and/or hateful words. You are free to leave the blog at any time and to never come back. I will definitely not hold that against you. I aim to spread love and care for others and to motivate and help in any little way I can by encouraging anyone who may have gone through the same thing or may relate to what I am talking about. I am not here to fuel any anger or hate towards anything or anyone nor am I here to start a fight. I would appreciate it if you can empathize with this idea. Thank you for your patience.
==================================================
Everyone has a past. They can either love it or hate it, but regardless of how it was, it always has a way of shaping how we live our life today. We can blame it for all the wrong that is happening is our lives or we can celebrate it for all the right that is happening. No matter how you look at it, as I’ve said, it has a way of shaping the way we see our lives today and how we view success in our life.
I believe in what people say that God has a plan and that God allows challenges in our lives so that we may grow and draw closer to Him. We may not always appreciate this idea, we may cling to our sorrow and either blame God for what is happening or blame ourselves for the misery we find ourselves in. It is so easy to be caught up in wallowing. I’m not saying that your grief is not real nor is it not valid. It is. Allow yourself the grief, the misery, BUT ONLY FOR A WHILE. As I’ve said it’s easy to get caught up in wallowing. In staying where you are, but if we are to succeed in life, we have to learn to stand up, dust ourselves off and try again. Failure is actually an option. We are human, we are allowed to fail, but we are not allowed to give up! Okay?
Sometimes we feel like we are the only ones who are suffering, sometimes we feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Yes, sometimes, you can feel that. But whenever I feel like that, or I feel like giving up. I look upon Jesus. How He had suffered for me, for us. How he had endured, he could have given up. He could have “saved himself” but he didn’t. He chose to suffer for us. How much has He endured to fulfill his mission. How could I complain? When I haven’t even borne a quarter of what He has borne! When I think about that, when I realize that my perception changed. When I realized that the reason he suffered was because of me, for me. I can’t give up. I focus my thoughts on Jesus and how He had lived and died and rose again to his victory. I know that I, too, am destined for victory. Even though I might have suffered, even though I might have felt pain. I know that I have victory, That if I believe and persevere, my prize awaits me.
