- If you could turn back time, what would you do? Would you be where you are now? Would you have made that same choice? Would you have turned down that same road?
- 3 dangerous words. Shoulda coulda woulda. I do that alot. I ask myself what I could have done differently to prevent bad things from happening. All it does is make me question myself constantly.
- My mom has always told me that I couldn't see the forest for the trees. When I was younger, I didn't get it. It use to annoy me when she said that. I would just respond with an irritated, "What does that meeeaaannnn?" But now I get it.
- Sometimes obstacles in our life prevent us from seeing the picture. The obstacles being the trees. You get immersed in the details. But eventually we can see the forest, if we wait patiently to get where we can see the view. Family and friends can see it because they aren't as emotionally involved in the problem. You have to rise above all the negativity to see the bigger picture. But in reality, sometimes I would just rather climb under a rock until I've had my pity party. Once I've released all my tears, I'm good about getting out of my funk, putting on my big girl pants as my mom says, and turning it all into something positive.
- So if you are feeling like a lost soul, wondering through the forest, not sure if you'll ever find a way out, just look up. God already knows your path. He was there when you started your journey, and He will be there at the end. Trust in Him to get you through. Let Him be your compass, your water when you thirst, the peace when you are weary.
- So today I'm leaving the shoulda, the coulda's and the woulda's under that rock. I'm putting on my hiking boots and I'm looking at the path through the trees. I'm trusting every step I've made is the one that had to happen to get me where I am right now. My path is His plan. When I finally reach the top I will be stronger. I will be able to look down at that beautiful view and see how far I've come. Isn't that what life is about?
