I was talking to a dear friend of mine (yea, dont let that go to your head - LOL) We go way back on here.
Anyway, we were talking about the old days. How this forum used to be.
When I first came here 6 years ago, I was blessed to have started here with some extraordinary people.
As I've said before, I came kicking and screaming into db. And so, I got my as$ kicked daily. And I thank God I did.
Because the thing of it is, that I was not a victim. And I didnt want to be treated as one. I wanted to learn everything I could. I wanted to grow. I wanted to change.
Yes, I have had some really tough stuff happen throughout my life. Really tough. But, that is life.
So, they told me that I needed to look inside. I needed to let go, I needed to leave my h to walk his journey and I needed to do the work.
At first I thought, yea, right, easy for you to say. And I fought against it.
But they wouldnt let me. They pushed me and challenged me. They wouldnt let me feel sorry for myself. They were tough.
And I am forever grateful.
So, yes this is hard. This succks. It hurts. But you are not a victim. You get to choose how you do it. You get to dig in and figure out the tough stuff.
And sometimes it gets really raw. Sometimes it can bring you to your knees.
But there is no strength without struggle.
Take the tougher road. Dig in a deep as you can.
Dont take it personally when you are asked to do that.
