Crashing

It seems like my whole world is crashing down around me. I just hope everything will turn around. I finally learned that it was all right to say something wasn’t working for me when it wasn’t working. The world doesn’t come crashing down when you speak the truth. There are those life-changing moments that each of us faces in our lives, which makes us question our existence. Circumstances out of our control that overwhelm us and feel hopeless about the future. I waited for dawn, but only because I had forgotten how hard mornings were.

For a second I'd be normal. Then came the dim awareness of something off, out of place. Then the truth came crashing down and that was it for the rest of the day. Sunlight was reproof. Shouldn't I feel better than I had in the dead of night? Attitude determines your altitude, if you have a bad attitude, even if you are way up there, you will come crashing down, and if you are still trying to take off, a bad attitude, will keep you on the ground, revving your engines but going nowhere.

If everything is falling apart and you’re experiencing the most profound pain you’ve experienced, know that it can’t get any worse. You’ve likely hit rock bottom and there’s no further down to go. When you are down in life, the only place you can go is up. Breathe a sigh of relief at life’s worst point. It can only get better from here. All circumstances, all the pain, and all hardship are temporary. Everything comes into your life and goes away. The challenges you are facing today will eventually disappear.

The pain will lessen and tears will dry up. Your only job is to preserve each day until you get to a better day. No matter how bad things are today, the sun will rise again tomorrow. You can welcome in new circumstances, new perspectives and a new day. Each day will bring new promises and new hope, so hang on. Do the work you need to get through each day and also know brighter days are on the horizon. Sometimes it takes a wake-up call to alert us to the fact that we’re hurrying through our lives instead of actually living them, that we’re living the fast life instead of the good life. I think that wake-up call takes the form of an illness. Well, you decide what's bad...
