Here Again

So I am here again, inspired again, hurt again, but overall, ALIVE again. This summer has put some things into perspective for me:
Everyone has secrets and insecurities.
Everyone feels pain. Everyone has unresolved issues.
But we cannot treat them as excuses.
We cannot let our pasts guide our futures. We are NOT allowed to take bad experiences and turn them into reasons for unhappiness. We were made to endure. That's what human life is about after all. We need to look at the beauty in everything. No regrets!
I have a challenge. Think of a time when you were really upset. Now visualize being strong and smiling about what happened. Stand up straight, throw your shoulders back, look up and smile. See the picture of the bad memory fade further and further away and you standing strong becoming brighter and closer. How does that make you feel? Better? That's what I thought.

I just have one message today:
Pain is inevitable. Hurt is everywhere. Broken trust is common. DO NOT let that rule your life. DO NOT let that guide your actions or limit your possibilities for happiness. Remember, what doesn't kill you, can only make you stronger. (if you let it)
