Time Heals

You'll often hear people saying, "Time heals all wounds". When you're in the pain, or in the eye of the storm, time feels endless and as if you'll never reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

With time, wounds do heal, but don’t mistake healing with disappearing.  No pain disappears.  If simply gets easier to deal with and more bearable.  

You can also image trees in a forest:

When you take a step back from the tree, instead of seeing only it’s bark, you can you can manage to see the full forest in front of you.  It allows you to understand that in time, all trees end up growing and seeing the light of the sun. Grow into beautiful majestic trees, that grow amongst many other strong trees. They see winds, rain, sunlight, snow, tornadoes or storms just as much as we do, and they are still standing strong, living the present moment and growing some more.

So time does heal, The hardships don't stay in one place forever. It shifts into something else. You learn from the hardship and become more resilient and strong in the face of a similar hardship.

Remember:  “This Too Shall Pass.”

You have to allow yourself time to heal. Change your perspective. Grow. Learn to be patient and kind with yourself. You always need to be in the shadow in order to come out into the light., just like the Lotus Flower. It's in the darkness that its forms its roots, grow and become the beautiful flower that it is. Its in the darkness that we form our character and become stronger in the face of danger and hardship. 

Spring always comes after winter.  It brings warmth and sunshine. You simply have to allow yourself time to grow and heal. Become a version of yourself you never knew existed and that make you more resilient and ready to continue moving forward.

Life is a series of roller coaster rides, learning moments and educational experiences. Not taking those challenges brings it's own sets of demoralization.... You feel nothing.

Feeling nothing brings depression, anxiety, fear of who you could really become. Touch all the sides of your personality.

The beauty of the human life is to live experiences.  Live the downs, in order to get back up and appreciate the ups.

You deserve to be kind and gentle with yourself, but you also deserve to discover every side of you, that only you have to offer. You may even be surprised by what you come up with!

You will definately never discover all of yourself, all at once. So give yourself time to discover every part of yourself, at every stages of your life.

As you grow, you will change.  Your opinions will change, your perception will change and you needs and desires will also change.  Let it come.

You may think that the storm is taking forever, but always remember and bring yourself back to basics, that you are worth the wait, time and care.

One step at a time.

You are worth the wait and the time, ALWAYS, EVERYDAY!
