How to Shine your Inner Light In The Midst of Turmoil
This past week I embraced the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I signed my divorce papers ending an 8 year marriage. It was a bittersweet moment that left me feeling a wide range of emotions. As I looked back on my 8 year marriage I began to question everything I did. Although I did that in the past and made peace with my decisions, I found that in the aftermath of signing the paperwork, the same emotions crept back in.
After sifting through my memory of countless arguments and fights, I wondered what I could have done differently to handle the situation. How could I have avoided fights that led to the moments leading up to my divorce?
As I kept thinking about the bad moments I kept feeling negative emotions. Then I stopped myself.
I looked at where I was right now in my life and the vision I made for my new life and a strong sense of comfort and peace came over me. I was right where I needed to be.
The last 6 months of my life has been an intense emotional rollercoaster ride. Frustration, sadness, betrayal, disappointment, fear and love are just a few of the feelings I have had been left to face with.
In all the pain and darkness of the last 6 months a new path of where anything is possible was born.
Focusing on the bright path of my future, where I am in control, where I create what I want, left me feeling excited and hopeful.
I was not going to get sucked back into the what if’s of life, the shoulda, coulda, woulda. Now was my moment to clearly define what I wanted and to use that momentum to create a springboard for my intentions and my visions.
We all have a light within us. Sometimes we allow that light to be dimmed by others and the situations we have experienced. It sometimes feel like we are walking around in darkness never seeing the path to happiness.
But when we step back for just a moment and fill our mind with the excitement of what’s to come, that anything is possible, that light begins to shine through. The path that we seek begins to show up.
I don't know where my new life is going to take me. I have a vision but i don't have all the how to's to get there.
The only thing I know without a doubt is that I get to create this next chapter. It may not go exactly as planned but as I stay committed to feeling good I know however I get there, everything will be ok.
This week I invite you to let your light shine bright. Don’t let others control how you feel and don’t let the challenges you face dim your light. How can you use the light within you to create what you want and get excited about what’s to come?
