Facing YOUR Giants

Sometimes, I think we see mountains bigger than they are. And we react with fear, because we don't know how we will manage. And that sets off a chain of events, that most likely could have been avoided. We tend to believe the worst in ourselves, instead of the best. Doubt is a bravery killer!!!! And the more we doubt, the less we accomplish.

I found myself, doubting my worth, falling into a pattern of settling for less. And that's a hard rut to get out of, because it seeps into EVERY area of life. Whether it be work, family, or relationships, failure is inevitable if you continue to beat yourself up and doubt your worth.

One day(recently), I just woke up different. I know who I am(and occasionally it is a little nutty). But I am proud of where I am! I earned every moment of joy that is happening-because I know what it's like to have NONE. I know what it is like to wake up EVERY DAY without hope, or purpose. I know what heartbreak and devastation is. I lived it. And then, with the support of some AMAZING people, I found my brave!

I have a ways to go in this journey, but I finally learned that the world does not define me-I DO. And there will always be trials, and bumps, and the occasional bruise-but with hope, faith, and a new perspective, life changes. For the better.

So hang in there, and know that what you are going through, so is someone else out there. You are NEVER, EVER, completely alone!!!! Be brave, reach out, and let the world know that you need help, support, or just a hand to hold for a bit-it doesn't make you weak, it makes you BRAVE.

All my love,

Kris
