Source Unknown but deeply appreciated!
Each and every one of us is offered countless invitations over our lifetime to hang our heads in shame … to rake ourselves over the coals … to accept the ‘story’ that tells us we are not good enough, not love-able enough, not important enough, not smart enough, not skinny enough … blah, blah, blah.
But here is the thing … we don’t have to accept every invitation we get! Just because we have a thought … doesn’t mean it is true. We do not have to accept the invitation to believe that thought.
Instead, we can simply look for the lesson in the moment, make any amends if/where necessary to clean up the mistake (including to ourselves!) … and then … chin up! Falling and failing are essential parts of being human. A ‘fall’ can’t define us … unless we neglect to get back up. Let’s not forget that things turn out the best for those who make the best of how things turn out. Only always.
So … the next time you catch yourself accepting an invitation to let your head down, just take a quick peek at your shoes instead.
Upward and Onward … Karen
Live a Great Life Anyway ...
