Ever find yourself in a hole you dug yourself and think, “self, how did I get in this hole?”. If so you’re not doing it right, what you should be thinking is how to get out of the hole and how to avoid falling in any more (or digging your own since that is even more vastly stupid). Obviously that must be it since you’re in the bottom of a hole, the faintest gimpse of light above beckoning you to get your life back on track.
Sounds plausible right? Wrong. Truthfully the important thing is to learn from your past and to use that knowledge and awareness as strength to make sure that you can handle falling into or digging these holes. We’re human, flawed, & imperfect creatures and the best we can strive for everyday is to be good people. We’ll make mistakes, hurt others, hurt ourselves, not intentionally but through our actions and inactions. all we can do is rely in ourselves to learn, and improve. I’m doing that now and I hope all of you are too.
The good news is once you’ve found the knowledge it does get easier, not instantly but every moment it eases fractionally. The situations (yes plural) I’m in right now all seem to be at root the same issue, ultimately that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that each situation has a lesson to be learned. Some of them are painful lessons, some are sad lessons but really they’re all good lessons so long as I take something away from the situation. What’s even better is the very act of trying to dig yourself out of a hole the right way means you get more lessons and even better a greater understanding of how to be a good person. All you need to do is hold onto that inner strength and your faith in yourself and God and there’s pretty much no hole you can’t escape. It’ll just take time, belief and above all the strength to fall back from time to time. Throughout all of this I’ve discovered far deeper reserves of strength then I knew I had, now I know that I can withstand far more pain & hurt than I even thought possible. That strength has stripped away most of the fear, anger and depression that had been clouding my mind and leading me into far more holes than needed.
Namaste :D
