The Weight We Carry: Embracing Our Journey
May 28, 2024
Life is a beautiful tapestry woven with threads of joy, love, and fulfillment.
Yet, it also holds the darker strands of pain and suffering, intricately entwined into our human experience. Every one of us is guaranteed to encounter pain and suffering at some point in our lives.
It's not a matter of if, but when. So, how do we prepare for the gut-wrenching curveballs life inevitably throws our way? When things spiral out of our control, how do we respond?
At the end of the day, much of life remains beyond our grasp. Have you ever found yourself saying, "I didn't think my life would turn out like this"?
Maybe your story hasn't panned out the way you envisioned. Perhaps your career didn't progress as you hoped, your finances didn't stabilize as planned, or your mind has betrayed you in ways you never expected. And what about relational suffering? When you love so deeply, only to feel like a truck has run over your heart, what do you do with those feelings? How do you handle that suffering?
The path forward is filled with choices. Do you let bitterness take root and control you, or do you sit with your pain, learn from it, and allow it to foster growth? This is your moment to be real with yourself. Embrace the weight, the anger, the disappointment, the fear. Be vulnerable. This is part of your story.
It’s time to get real with yourself. Stop putting on a show because social media dictates you need to be a certain way. That facade will only lead to burnout. When you embrace authenticity, you start truly living, and you stop failing yourself and your community. The Universe is here to guide us toward our best selves, to inspire others, and to grow our purpose and legacy.
Perspective is everything. Stop living according to what others believe is right for you. Live your purpose. Live to be authentic. This concept, which I call "Selfishly Humble," means processing your true feelings, even when they're messy. Disappointment is real, and it’s a part of this life.
To my ladies, let's carry this weight together, honestly and authentically. Let’s be vulnerable and strong, mourn and learn, rest and grow. Embrace your journey and let it shape you into the incredible person you are meant to be.
This is your story, your purposeful journey, and it’s beautiful, even with its pain and suffering. Live it fully and inspire others to do the same.
