Struggle has been a familiar thing
it has been something that defined me
something I took on
as part of my reality
But I have changed my mind
When I think of struggle
I feel the hardship
the burden
I see my self walking
bent over
I see my self carrying
the pain
the suffering
and the burden is almost too much to bear
But
when that perspective is shifted
and I see it as a challenge
everything changes
challenges are meant to be faced
challenges are welcomed for growth
welcomed for learning
welcomed for experience
I can see myself standing tall
staff in hand
ready to face the challenges
of my life
so
in changing my mind
I have decided
that the struggle is no more
no longer will I carry
unnecessary burdens
instead
I stand tall
walk strong
ready to face
the challenges of my Life...
what have you changed your mind about, my lovelies?
Love and Light
I love your shift in perspective. It's so true and so wise. I've changed my mind about the same thing. This post cemented it for me. I realized last night after the sh*tty day I had yesterday that it did come down to choice and how I viewed and responded to things. It makes all the difference. Thank you for this post, my friend. It absolutely sang out beautiful notes to me this morning!! xoxo

ReplyDeletewonderful. it can be a tough journey to get to this place of understanding, not all do. but it really is a choice of perspective.

It's a constant mindset of continual tweaking but always worth the perspective!

ReplyDeleteyour words are so empowering and I'm inspired to drink my tea and have a really good introspection.
ReplyDeletehappy Sunday :)
When I read your words, I hear the truth in them - perspective changes everything. I want to see struggles as opportunities for growth, but it is hard to remember that sometimes. To answer your question "what have I changed my mind about" the thing that comes to mind, as a parent is, letting go of my son and trusting that I have done my best to equip him with everything he needs for life. I can be confident in him and in myself.
