You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone

There are days when people will undoubtedly try to bring you down.  Their intent isn’t pure and you know they’re trying to hurt you either emotionally or spiritually with their words or actions.  It feels truly rotten.  You wonder what you’ve done, question yourself, talk to God and pray.  You feel shocked, taken by surprise and dismayed.  You struggle to understand, you go to sleep confused and you try to find the strength to be the better person.    

Courage doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice

at the end of the day saying,

"I will try again tomorrow.”  - Mary Anne Radmacher

You feel alone.  You reach out to feel a connection with another soul.  Because you know that truly, we are all connected.  And when we hurt each other, we are really hurting ourselves.

Friends share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. - Henri Nouwen

For anyone out there feeling this way, please know that you are NOT alone.  I am here to tell you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!  I want to send as much love and positive energy to all of those feeling hurt, wronged and put down.  I want to grab and hug every person out there that is feeling sad, lonely, scared, unsure, insecure and frightened. 

Individually, we are one drop.

Together, we are an ocean. - Ryunosuke Satoro

This too shall pass and eventually you’ll see that there are better, truer experiences waiting for you.  You’ll see that the road blocks put in your way were really to guide you on to bigger, more amazing things, people and places.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens,

but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. - Helen Keller

You will realize that as you move forward and open your heart to new people, experiences and opportunities, your life takes on amazing light.  Love can only enter an open heart.  As you feel your heart open, you light the way for others to see that they also, can risk opening their hearts to love.  And the chain of love goes on…

As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way. - Mary Anne Radmacher

I leave you with this – You are not alone.  We are all connected and karma will take care of itself.  When someone hurts you, it means they are hurting themselves.  Choose love.  When you are hurt, you have a choice - you can choose fear or choose love.  When you are struggling on how to react, you can choose to react out of anger and sadness or you can react coming from a place of love.  Fill your heart with love, and no hurt can enter.

Being hurt by someone you truly care about leaves a hole in you heart that only love can fill. – Unknown

For all that are hurting, scared, sad and feeling alone – for you – I Choose Love.
