Believe in life, not loss.
This means that we can trust in the nature and rhythm of life with all its constant change. We believe in transformation, change and purpose.
Believing in life means we are not in bondage to the past. No matter what we’ve done, what decisions we’ve made, we set ourselves free to trust ourselves now. We trust what we feel, we trust what we know, and we trust what we think we need to do next.
Believing in life means we trust that the lessons we are learning are real. They are valuable and drivingly ordained- even when learning a lesson means feeling pain.
Believing in loss means we focus on the grief, on the pain, on the tragedy, on the inescapable reality of certain events. Believing in loss means we get fixated on what was taken from us and what we did wrong. We judge ourselves and our lives harshly. Believing in loss often means we stay stuck. We are afraid to let go of a person, a place or a thing that is no longer right for us because we are afraid to lose anything more.
Do you believe in loss? Or, Do you believe in LIFE?
