Sculptured Minds
We have been down that road where we have prepared ourselves for the worst. We have attended all possible seminars and held self and group pep talks of what to do just in case you know, we find ourselves in a fix. Truth of the matter though is that we are not ready. We have not taken a moment to absorb all that to be a state of normalcy in our minds.
When you least expect it, comes without warning and in a flash of a second , we forget all we ever learnt. The self-care tips the mental health preps of stress management. It hits us hard! We loose our minds and suddenly get wounded in the silence of our thoughts. We want to throw blame. We loose ourselves for having not been careful at one moment in time. Then we will console ourselves and say 'I actually was careful' . For a moment consequences suck up at our marrow. We wonder how we got to this point . None of us chose to be in this state of affairs. Such is life and it hits differently, just when we thought we are at a glam squad.
How then do we handle it? Is there a way we can be thankful for the potentially bad things that happen to us? Would it have been worse? Can it get worse that it already is? Nobody knows and we do not want to for sure. Fear maybe? We just crave for a day to breathe free. It is just as exhausting as it may be frustrating.
We have to win this. Soldier on people. Find the strength within you. Sit in the silence of your existence and discover yourself. Pen it down in case it skips your mind on who you figured yourself out to be; read it out loud on your reflection. Narrate it, declare it, be you! Waking up to a new day is worth gratitude. Parenthood, that little one smiling at you, that is priceless, write that down...No! Wear it ,its the loveliest crown. The skills you exhibit at your workplace, your capability to seek self peace before engaging situations...anything that makes you a better person is worth to be noted that measures your success. Leave out nothing. Brave yourself and step out happier .
Smile from time time, often because your mind is accustomed to goodness that you are sculptured in. Free your mind of guilt, of sadness and of self pity. You are worth a lifetime to infinity and beyond. There is no finer artist that paints the beauty of your inner being than yourself...the rest of us just get to see the canvas end product on your portfolio.
