We all have an expectation for our lives. Things we want, need, crave! There will always be things that set us back, that is life. You need to only worry about what you control. How you approach things, and how you receive things. What can you give to this life you lead? You can not predict outcomes and that’s ultimately what scares you. You can live in the negative and be lead to believe it doesn’t get better, but at the bottom we can only go up. I have watched it my whole life in others the strength and ability to go forward regardless. You have to, you really do.
You might be trapped in a body that doesn’t operate the way you want it to. One illness, injury sets everything off course. Don’t give up, mental stamina and energy gets taken up by so many things, clouds the vision and perspective. Set your sights lower for a time, focus on wellness in whatever form you need it. It doesn’t have to be perfect. When I had my first child, before the internet, I read every book about childbirth, infants, parenting that I could find. I remember there was an article saying that a baby is rated at birth on a scale to ten. At this point, I don’t remember the name of the scale. After my daughter was born I was interested to learn the rating of my new baby. The nurse told me she was rated at a nine. I was so alarmed, wondering what possibly could be wrong with my baby? The nurse met my dismay with this response, “ Child, if this baby was Jesus Christ himself… he might get a ten.” Exactly what you need to put your mind at ease in this life. Nothing is perfect.
You can dissect everything in your life and still come up short. If the world ended tomorrow, how would your life be rated. Nothing is ever perfect. Enjoy it, whatever is thrown at you. Don’t live in the past or the future, just right now. Just what you can control. Forget everything else. Hindsight is 20/20 and the future comes ready or not and you can not predict the outcome. Just live the best you can, one day at a time. The best version of yourself is what you can control!
