You Can’t Ignore the Damage

Morning Mantra: "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."

For a moment pretend your life is a house.  You go room to room looking for work to be done, and things that happened that need to be fixed. It's so overwhelming that you decide to just live with it.  You pretend not to notice the damage, you decide to let the damage define you and you push the feelings created down deeper.

Both emotional and physical pain are like that.  We know what happened in our past to cause it, we understand what needs to be fixed, but it's too scary to face. Or it's too overwhelming to navigate the process of healing.

For a change, when you go through the rooms of your "house", instead of looking for flaws and mistakes, pain and hurt, look for potential, and for promise.  Look at it with a different perspective.  Look for simple changes that can get you started.  Look for support to free you from the burden. Look at it with the understanding that change is hard but worth it.  Healing is hard but worth it.

Our lives reflect our past but we should not dwell there. We should not get used to the pain- the baggage.  We have the power to change the outcome.  We have the power to create something beautiful from it all.
