“Always keep moving, don’t stop dont grt stuck and dont give up.” Many say if you’re going through Hell, don’t stop, keep moving on. When we become complacent or comfortable, we rob ourselves of the experience needed to grow and take opportunities on different paths of new experience. In essence “It’s not the end result of our actions that bring us life fulfillment, It’s the thrill of the chase.” Live life my friends.

“You're not healing to be able to handle trauma, pain, anxiety, depression. You're used to those. You're healing to be able to handle joy and to accept happiness back into your life."

I RESPECT YOUR STORM, BUT IT'S YOURS
(Fernado Fernando D'Sandi)

From the web
Credits to the author

There will be a time in life when you will have to look into the eyes of someone close — your partner, a friend, a brother — and say firmly and tenderly:
“I’m going to be honest with you. From now on I will no longer enter the whirlwind of your emotions. I respect them, I understand them, I even honor them.. but they're yours, not mine. I can't live them as if they were part of my soul, because in this journey I also carry my own emotional backpack, and it's the only thing I can carry.

If you decide to stay in that storm, I will support you, always from my place, from my calm. I won't leave you, but I won't lose myself with you either. From here, from my center, I can be a lighthouse, not a ship that sinks with you. I love you, and precisely because I love you, I need to take care of my balance.

Loving is not carrying the weight of another's life on your back; it is walking together, free, light, each owning its own storms. Love does not have to hurt more than necessary; love, when it is genuine, builds, not destroys."

Sometimes, loving also means learning to say, “Here I am, but without forgetting myself.”.

From CounselorJoe
“I love how this applies in our life experiences” Want to awaken and start building meaning and purpose, contact me and set up a personal session.
