Who said it first? I’m not sure if it was Picasso or Beerus (idk, a fun Google search pulled up the Manga character, lol) but nonetheless there’s so much truth to this old adage.
You ever felt like everything was crumbling… all… at… once? And you’re literally like chile, if it ain’t one thing then it’s the next. Yep, that happens – and that’s life for you. But I truly believe when those moments happen, it’s often because you’re on the brink of something big. Big enough for YOU. Not big according to culture, and social media’s standards cause – I mean intentionally designed for whatever big thing you need to mature into to move your life in the direction of growth.
We were created for change. That is literally how our world works. The world is constantly spinning, we are constantly evolving, things are constantly growing and another unfortunate part of life is that sometimes things have to end for new things to begin. So if you catch yourself in a state of feeling like things are constantly crumbling, it could be life’s gentle (and not so gentle) way of moving you into bigger. Its likely causing you to shift and change because perhaps you were a bit too comfortable and avoiding taking the risks that are needed for you to continue on your life journey.
And no, I am not saying it’s okay to suffer. I am actually saying the opposite. I’m saying that when you find yourself in moments of things feeling like a lot is happening at once, know that this is okay, likely temporary and then create a strategy for yourself to get through the storm. Identify what tools you can equip yourself with to weather this storm so you can come out on the other side and see sunshine again. This may mean, during those times you really tap into your self care bag and revisit the things to pour into yourself. This may look like journaling for some people. It may look like daily walks for others. It may look like meditation. It may look like calling up your girls and venting. Whatever works for you, do it – just know that you’ll be okay. So remember, it’s okay to feel whatever emotions you’re going through, go through them, and then get support to do something about them. And don’t forget, if a problem feels too big for you to tackle on your own – you don’t have to. Reach out to a support group – online resources, a trusted advisor, friend, mentor, therapist whatever you need.
So remember friend, if you’re reading this I truly believe you came across this because you are probably going through something that is going to transform you for bigger, and better. And if you went through it recently, check on your friends cause you never know who may be going through something and may need a reminder that things are going to be okay.
Keep strong.
