as i look around me, it seems like i am surrounded by people are resigning--from habits, from jobs, from relationships. they have given up and accepted the previously ignored necessity for radical change, the cold reality that their voices are not being heard, the desperate lie that tells them they are unlovable.
sometimes there's nothing left to do but give up, to take a phrase from the definition. sometimes the inevitable undesirable stalks us until we have nothing left to fight for. sometimes we have no fight left in us because we've fought as hard as we could and lost. sometimes we are simply tired of fighting.
folks, knowing the problem is the first step in identifying a solution.
that habit? it was unhealthy.
that job? it was unhealthy.
that relationship? it was unhealthy too.
so, we start in a place of resignation. it's natural to be sad. to mourn the loss of what was and the hope of what could have been. and mourning is a process that takes time. sometimes it takes a long time. let yourself feel it. truly feel the sadness and the loss.
but...one night, when you're ready...instead of focusing on the darkness, your eyes will wander up to notice the stars in the sky again.
please don't miss it. don't dismiss it.
you don't have to see the full galaxy, but don't miss the star twinkling out there to remind you that it's time to move past the resignation and start fighting for a new dream.
fight for a new way of living. one that is good and healthy for your body, mind and spirit.
fight for a new way of working. one that progresses your calling and promotes good in the world.
fight for a new way of loving. one that starts with loving yourself and extends to bring in someone worthy of your tremendous heart.
so, how am i, you ask? i feel a true sense of resignation. i have faith in the choice i made. i am at peace.
...and i'm listening to the One who made me and starting to find my fight again.
