In our lives we have things happen to us... good and bad... There is nothing we can do about it... We have to go thru life with what we have been dealt... We cannot go back one single second... so what do we do with that... Knowledge is power... If you know that unavoidable truth... You have the power to make changes... But I just said that we cannot change anything well both are true... The unchangeable fact that we will have to deal with the bad is not what I am talking bout changi... We have the power to change how we deal with it You can change your reaction to it and thus the eventual out come The events in our lives are apart of us forever we have the power to decide what defines us how we let things affect us We can accept the good with open arms knowing that it will bring joy to our lives we can choose to embrace the bad that sounds like an oxymoron embrace bad it can help us though when we go thru a bad experience periods in our life whatever no matter what happens we can learn from it grow from it we have to realize that the bad stuff is not everything in our lives we choose how it affects us... Do we let it knock us down or do we gain strength from it to build muscle up and make it grow strong you have to tear it so it will expand and grow you have to work it to keep it toned I know from personal experience that it can make you stronger not that you were not strong before when you go thru something and you are not sure how it is going to work out How you are going to handle it and then you come out of it on the other side get thru it you realize your strength strength that you did not realize you had.. Strength that you now recognize you are stronger you have grown and the strength may not be all from you.. It can be from family close friends or the best source of strength of all GOD when you are faced with a difficult situation a long dark night that seems never ending and you are not sure what way to go to get out to find the light of peace and you find the strength to get thru that dark hour it is easier to find the light next time whatever key you use to unlock that door family, friends, faith you learn what you are really capable of.. What your strengths and weakness are strengths you can keep and make stronger weaknesses you can eliminate it also gives you new skills and tools you need to build with so you can find the light of peace easier I have a choice You have a choice We have a choice do not let your past define you do not let the past defeat you make it apart of you and grow
