At Times of Loss

I dragged myself out of bed this morning feeling completely exhausted. I must have hit the snooze button a dozen times. It was rough with only 10 mins to get ready for work. So I did the best I can and left my apartment like I haven’t slept for days and neglected my appearance for quite sometime. I tried the best I can to consult various types of loss this morning. A somber tone for what appears to be a lovely summer Friday. Of course, I failed miserably to alleviate their pain and it got me thinking.. perhaps there are some baselines.

Reach Out

It is not always easy for some but whatever it is know that you do not have to go through it alone. We all go through difficult times at various stages of life.  Taking that step to reach out and seek help is part of the healing and growth process. And sometimes it comes from places we never expected but keep an open mind. This goes both ways so reach out and do the right thing.

Let It Go

You have to make an effort to let go. Because it hurts to hold on. Because holding on simultaneously means holding you back. Because you need to stop heading towards a dead end. And because something better is in the horizon. You have to accept this temporary void and work to fill the gap with possibilities and potentials. Take this time to learn about yourself and what truly matters.

Time Will Heal

The worst thing is to let your emotion cloud your judgement so take your time to heal. Do not make decisions base on your emotion and end up in regret. Take it step by step and time will heal.

Make It Count

If the variables are out of your control and loss is inevitable than make the best of it while it last before it is gone. If it is too late, then let this be a lesson for in the future make *everything count. 

Have to Start Somewhere

The hardest thing is to start something new. But once you start it, it gets easier and eventually meaningful. Risk can be rewarding. But you have to start somewhere. 

Find a Way

Don’t stay stagnant when something is not working. Find a solution and resolve it. If it takes you on a different path and shows potential; let it, go for it, and enjoy the journey. 

No Room for Negativity 

There will be negative people in your life and there is nothing you can do to avoid that from happening from time to time. What you can control is do not let them affect your growth and progression. Stay focus on your goals and objectives. Build a positive circle of trust and friendship. 

Just the Way You Are

You are unique, special, and there is only one version of you in this world. Embrace that and stay positive.

Lastly, Be Kind and Stay Stong
