It’s been a while since I have had a cold. I think I have forgotten what one was really like. That moment you realize that you are “coming down with something” to the moment you are so stuffed up that even breathing is hard. But like all things it takes time and patience.
Patience is a virtue, one in which I don’t always possess a lot of. I can have patience with certain things and generally I have patience with people and I definitely have patience for animals. What I lack patience in myself.
When I am sick, or I make a mistake I tend to be a lot harder on myself than I would be on someone else. In my head I am all over what I could have done better, what I should have said or what I wished I done.
I can be my own worst enemy. I want to make sure that I am doing everything right. I want to give everything I attempt my all, and when I feel like I have failed I have no patience with myself.
But I am learning, learning to take that breathe, take that step back and realize that I can fall flat on my face and still learn something and that just because the outcome wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. I tried, I gave it my all and sometimes things are just out of my control for a reason.
So my friends, this week, I invite you to take a step back and realize that sometimes things happen for a reason. And sometimes things just happen and we cannot control the outcome but we control how we react to it.
Until next time,
Juli
