Key To Survival

"It's not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change."

- Charles Darwin

I have been so caught up by all the well-meaning souls in my life telling me to be strong thru the trials in my life. Like that is the solution to everything. Be strong. Dont let my emotions run away with me. Dont give in to the pain I feel. I cant let my emotions run their course because I have to be strong for my kids.

Like being afraid to show weakness has gotten me ANYWHERE in my life. Yeah, Im sure the people in my life really appreciate it when I run away to cry because I cant show anyone how weak I am.

Im so done with that way of thinking. ITS OK TO BE VULNERABLE. It may take a freight train to make the impact, but one way or another, I am going to get that thru my head. EMOTION IS NATURAL. The fact that I am sensitive and have a loving heart is one of the best things about me. Its who I was created to be! And Im done hiding it.

I dont need to be strong or smart to survive and make the most of my life. I get to flexible, adaptable, and let go of my expectations of how my life should be. These are the curveballs Im being thrown right now, and frankly, I thank my Spirit Father for them. They show the faith and love He has for me. He is probably laughing his ass off watching me try to juggle them, occasionally dropping them, and the pissed off, contorted faces I make as I let my ego try to control them.

Let Go, Let God. That is the key to survival.
