"You should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. you must practice staying strong, instead."
I read this quote tonight and felt totally enlightened. I am guessing EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Even the utmost insignificant smallest things happen for a reason. Every day I am becoming stronger and stronger and I love being alone. I enjoy it so much that the more I am alone, the more I want to be alone. It is so peaceful and easy to gather thoughts and surrender the mind. Living in such a fast paced and busy world it feels so good to just be. I have always thought that it is a good thing to cry and get those emotions out and that it will make it that much easier to move on but I have realized after doing this many many times that it does indeed open you up for another melt down as soon as 30 minutes! The stronger I have become the harder it is to cry even if I wanted to. I think you can still feel the pain of something but not react to it. When you react to this emotion, you are a slave to it and it controls you. I have had many 'tests' I would say this week to bring me down. Much to my surprise, I have not been moved. Yes, the pain is still there but I can no longer get upset. THEN I read this quote and thought "OMG this is so true!" The more I have broken down, the more I continue to. BUT when you actually pick up and move on there is such a peace that comes with it and knowing that I couldn't break down even if I wanted to!
This is just the beginning of what I know to be a great life God has ahead for me. "I can do all things through Christ; who gives me strength"
