Most of us discover life doesn't always go as we planned or dreamed it would. In fact, it almost rarely travels the path or vision we see for ourselves or our family members. These diversions can (and usually do) cause havoc within our family system. We find ourselves facing challenges, that bring depression and/or anxiety into our lives, while we come to terms with the unexpected changes. No one is exempt from this trial in life, but how we handle it will contribute to how much or how long depression or anxiety will interfere with our daily activities. Being flexible and less rigid in our expectations can make a huge difference in the success of "moving through" these obstacles.
The road in life is full of bends, curves, detours, and super highways. We can end up so far off course we sometimes wonder, "how in the heck did we end up here"? Often we take time to reflect on the vision we once had, but we fail to accept the depth of it's loss. Yes everyone, it is a loss and sometimes quite a substantial one. When there is a loss of a dream, plan, or vision for ourselves there is grief. It is so important to take time and honor your grief.
Time will usually allow the good and positive to emerge if we have taken the time to honor our grief. Emerge from the challenges you have endured by holding your head high, taking a deep breath, and begin searching for what is good and positive in your new direction.
Life can be than more than our original dream and reality can be beautiful if we allow ourselves to move through the obstacles with flexiblity knowing someone is watching over us. Amen!
