A friend asked me recently where I drew my inspiration from. If there was a teacher or a process or some other means my entries might come from. At the time, there was no concrete answer.
And after coming through yet another very dark tunnel I realize that the answers are all around us. They are in the advise from a friend, an answered prayer, an epiphany during meditation, a page in a book, a sign in the subway, a billboard on the side of the road.
When we are honest with ourselves and face our fears that’s where the answers are. If we give in to what is hurting us and mourn the losses, we are healing the layers of life that have been covered by so many bandaids. Within the questions we are asked, may lie the answers that we seek. When we are humble enough to admit we can’t do it alone that is when the help comes.
Faith really can move mountains. Determination gives us confidence. Failure means we are that much closer to success. Taking chances breeds self-esteem.
Living with integrity will open us up to more opportunities.
We all have a lot to be thankful for and the answers come when we least expect them.
For me, even though I am on my own and my family are all gone, my friends never cease to show up for me. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon but I am resourceful. Embracing the love around me will comfort me in my darkest hour. And I now know completely, unconditionally, totally and unequivocally, that I am not alone.
And either are you.
