Some personal notes on how I dealt with one of the darkest moments of my life last week. I hope that these words can be of use… especially if any one of you is struggling. ♥️

Dealt with a personal calamity and went MIA for a week. Some days are so bleak, you really wonder if you’ll get out of it. Took leave from work – honestly can’t remember the last time I took leave or not work for more than 2 days in the last 12 years.

I prayed a lot and asked for the strength, and wisdom to see this through. On top of my faith, I binged excessively on educational videos and podcasts.

Events don’t affect us. The MEANING you attach to the events affect you. If you change your interpretation, you’ll change your thoughts & life.

You can’t change the bad things that happen to you. Ask yourself: What does this mean to me? How can I change the meaning for this? What can I do or learn from this?

The way you feel about everything is down to 2 things:
1) the image you play in your head
2) the words you use (affects the picture)

Your thoughts dictate your feelings.
Feelings dictate your actions.
Your actions dictate your events.
–
Your inside has to reflect the outside.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight. 💪🏻
