The best version of myself was born through adversity.
The things that cost me so much, have taught me the most valuable lessons. My addiction and my poor choices cost me relationships, finances, my health, and even my freedom at times. I know & appreciate the people in my life more than ever before. I now know how important it is to understand money, to take care of myself physically, and how to stay out of jail.
Now it is the things that give me life, that I choose to make sacrifices for. I sacrifice the allowance to live a certain lifestyle, so that I may be the person I am meant to be. I don’t engage in empty relationships or wild late night parties. I am really living out my dream , because there is a purpose behind it. I now understand that our purpose here is to help others and contribute to the world in the best we possibly can. Because I have abandoned myself to a relentless pursuit of what I do, things could not be better.
God’s Love has made me whole. Without it, I am lost. My resilience was always and still is needed and necessary, as is hard work. God Love is my guiding light and does for me what I can not do for myself or others.
Do not shy away from adversity. Give your Faith a chance.
Have a great week!
