Life lessons are hard knocks...I have had a few.(I have a permanent mark up side my head.) The one that taught me more than anything else was to learn how to smile when your world seems to be crumbling. I felt out of place in my everyday surroundings. I stuck to the old saying "never let them see you sweat"; on the inside I was blank but on the outside I wore a smile. I didn't see it then but later I realized how this one situation made me. It made me totally depend on God, it taught me how to smile in the midst of the storm and it taught me how to love my so called enemies.
I was much stronger than I thought I was. I know I was never alone. This was part of my journey. I don't believe it could have happened any other way. What appeared to be a mountain was only a pebble. I looked at my life much differently from that point on. I accepted that I was not in control of my life and if I wanted to survive I had to get rid of somethings and people that were toxic.
When we let go of the right things, no matter how dependent we are on it/them, we can then celebrate everyday living with a smile. So, don't let stumbling blocks hold you down. Don't let grudges steal your joy. Don't let heartache make you hate. The harder it is to let go the better the celebration. I charge you to take inventory of your life and get rid of anything that is causing you pain, mentally, physically or spiritually.
