Even amidst great challenges, my intention is to grow as a human being.
WEEKLY FOCUS: I N T E N T I O N
Few people avoid pain and suffering in this life. Those who do probably
aren't really avoiding them, just escaping them instead. I can choose to escape the negativity and pain and focus on the end prize. Remember from earlier post, my pastor at church said that, "It's not just intention, but direction." I will step up my game and not only INTEND to be a happier, more whole person but I will take the steps to get us there. When difficult circumstances arise in my life, I can choose to see them as opportunities to grow, no matter how difficult it may seem. AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW! Despite the pain and misery that accompany those circumstances, I can respond to them with a strong belief in myself that I can be better and it will be better, not bitter, when the storm passes.
Better -- not bitter.
And I'll leave you with this thought:
"As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might." ~Marian Anderson
Flapping my wings...I really truly WANT to SOAR!!!
