This photo is about 13 years ago and I was right in the midst of my healing journey…. You know we don’t often talk about that before we get better it feels like we are getting worse..
It’s like when we’re learning something new, you can feel out of your debts before you feel wise. When you start working out, you feel weak before you feel strong.
When you’re facing your fears, you feel terrified before you feel brave.
We don’t heal because we suffer.
We heal because we decide we don’t want to stay in that place anymore.
Peace isn’t about having no turbulence, it’s learning how to hold yourself when everything feels too much.
Life has a funny way of dressing growth up as failure and wrapping progress in utter discomfort.
If it’s hard I want you to know you’re probably closer than you think…
Because transformation is raw.It breaks who you were to make room for who you’re meant to be.
You don’t often build strength by feeling powerful but you build strength by showing up when you feel powerless.
So if you feel tired or uncertain or behind, I believe you’re in the trenches and just around the corner from who you’re becoming..
Take it from me, when you get there, you’ll turn around and realise that you couldn’t have found yourself without getting a bit lost first- you’ve got this ❤️
