During my early adolescence I had an opportunity to skip a grade.
Circumstances beyond my control showed up as a lack of control physically that kept me from skipping to the next grade level.
It wasn’t because of my scholastic abilities but the turmoil that was simultaneously occurring in my family.
My daily arrival home resulted in tension so thick you could cut it with a knife as soon as you walked through the door.
Unbeknownst to me; my parents were on the verge of separation and eventually divorce.
The home events impacted me dramatically and because I thought I played a role in this; my life stayed in turmoil from adolescence well through my adult years and into my 30’s.
As time moved on and I began to know myself better I realized none of it was my fault.
I’ve discovered over time that I wasn’t the only one that experienced this type of trama.
There are many out there like me that felt responsible for the breakups, spouse leaving, lack of money and someone else’s choices.
I finally came to terms after deducing from many different people that it was just my parents doing the best they could and not knowing any better.
How different would your life be with new information so you have more choices to select from?
Today is an opportunity to choose better.
Not sure which way to go, then sit down & ask your “higher self” the same question.
Believe what you hear in your head next is the option you hadn’t considered and do that, then document the outcome.
Not every day but every second is an opportunity to start again.
The greatest lesson I’ve learned my entire life is I only lose when I give up.
Stay Blessed!
