Not everything in life can go our way.As much as we want to, we can't control how the people around us think,
or what they choose to do.
(Um...unless, you're a sociopathological control-freak with a barn in the middle of rural Saskatchewan all set up with a Saw IV-esq theme...
but I'm going to run on the assumption that you don't.)
Even if it disappoints us.
Even if it hurts us.
Even if we know it's what's best. We just can't.
This change can be:
terrifying,
emotionally challenging,
mentally draining,
but most of all: It's pinnacle.
It's pinnacle because you suddenly have a choice.
You have a choice to grow up, or regress back into immature patterns of humanistic behaviour.
We can't direct any external entity but ourselves.
We can choose to overcome obstacles, instead of lingering on our failed attempts.
We can choose to reap the benefits of all our situations (good and bad), rather than continually focusing on the negative.
We can choose to set attainable (or unattainable) goals for ourselves and make the necessary effort in achieving them.
Ultimately, we only, truly, have power over our actions.
What we choose to make of our journey.
For me, every limitation is a challenge to be overcome, with its ultimate purpose being growth.
I'll grow through this , too.
