Overcoming Adversity: The Power of Silence and Self-Reflection

2–3 minutes

“It’s always hard to deal with injuries mentally, but I like to think about it as a new beginning. I can’t change what happened, so the focus needs to go toward healing and coming back stronger than before.” – Carli Lloyd

In the vast world of uncertainties, one concept remains: choice. 2016 was a year that will live in infinity, at least for me personally. It was a tough year of loss and uncertainty, much of which took time to process. I faced grief, pain, and unprecedented heartache. Rising and reaching towards my creative destiny required a dash of courage and unparalleled divine strength.

Every season has its perils and its joys, but I’m just glad to enjoy the journey. In the silence of solitude, lessons can be learned in fascinating ways. These lessons challenge the soul and awaken potential. As words of encouragement, don’t be scared to confront yourself in the silence alone. It gives you the clarity you’ve been searching for. Silence all the other voices that don’t really matter, but the sound of your own does.

It has been a while since I took the time to write, but it’s not the end of me. My dreams are too big for me to stop. My heart won’t let me give up. My imagination is becoming more alive. I am filled with wondrous adventures that already exist for me to experience. With hope as my guide, it is the beacon that keeps me content. Faith is the glue that keeps dreams or desires from wavering from the evidence that claims to declare the truth. Hence, it is by faith that we can claim down as our anchor and declare a position.

The lesson learned is we have a divine imprint for creativity, which can ignite numerous possibilities. Belief is our gateway into our own perceptions. We can create the world we desire or the one we dread within our own inner self-talk and vivid imagination. Let us strive to be everything we can be. Let us be all we want to be. Our aim should be the betterment of all humanity.

Bottom line, we can create the world we desire within our own inner self-talk. Alternatively, we can create the one we dread using our vivid imagination. Let us strive to be all we can be. Let us aim to be all we want to be. We do this for the betterment of all humanity.

2017 New Beginnings…
