I received this as a Facebook Message to the Positive Imperative group. This arrived just in time as I was struggling with an initiative largely beyond my control where I need to accept that it is journey and a growth path just not for me but for others as well. Thanks Kristen (whoever you are) for the well timed and well articulated message.

As I sit here listening to music and reminisce about all the amazing heartfelt moments in my life, I think of all of you... Because like you I have struggles in life, bad days, and even times where I want to give up. But then I think about it, and like every other turbulence that shakes us up, I realize that it always passes and turns smooth after we get through the worst... There are many questions that I am sure all of us have about life, society, people, and the list goes on... The important thing to remember is that everything always happens for a reason... There may be a lesson to be learned, or this may happen in order for something else to come in effect, the curiosities are endless... If we don't believe things will always get better, then what is the point of being here? I am sure most of you have been through pain, depression, loss, grief, but everyone has to remember at least one memory of being happier than you have ever been, right? We all have two choices in life, two paths we can take...We can either take everything in the worst way possible, or we can learn from everything we encounter in life, take it as it is and embrace life to the fullest... We were created on this earth to love life, feel amazing and most of all love and be true to ourselves... If we don't respect ourselves then it becomes hard to respect others... There will always be people in our lives who try and bring us down and make us feel unworthy of ourselves but the only thing that matters is that we believe in ourselves, because if we believe, anything in this crazy world is possible... And trust me, it's the complete truth... No matter what is going on in your life, trust in your heart to tell you what is right and what is wrong.. Your intuition, or gut feeling will always give you the correct answer... Once again remember it's okay to make mistakes and fall off the wrong path, but you just need to learn from each situation and get on the right one again... Everything will always turn around, as long as your true to your heart...
