The weight is crushing. It feels like no matter what happens after this, nothing can ever lift this weight from you. You think you are defeated. You think you’re small. You think that no matter what you’ll never get back to the way you were.
That’s false.
Yes, the pain, the heartbreak, the betrayal, the humiliation is overwhelming and it hurts. It hurts like a sword driven through your chest.
But you will get through this. You’ve lasted this long, you’ve been through struggles both big and small. This might be the biggest obstacle you’ve faced.
No matter what you must choose.
What will you do? It can be easier to just lay down, to accept it, to be defeated, to wallow in your misery.
But that’s not what you were made for
You were born for greatness, to be more than people think you can be. To exceed even your own expectations, to rise above and claim what you desire, what you know you can accomplish and even achieve what you never thought you could.
Break the mold. Shatter the false ceiling that you have built that holds you back.
And though it hurts, and it may always hurt, will you pick up that weight and carry it? Or will you let it drag you down and keep you from moving forward.
When faced with intense pain, overwhelming odds, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, you need to choose.
Will you lay there and smolder in the ashes?
Or will you rise like a phoenix? Will you stand up straight with your shoulders back, look the pain in the eyes and tell the pain that you are stronger than it?
The road to recovery is not an easy one. There will be temptations and trials.
But the hardest metals are forged within the hottest fires.
Get up. You’re not done yet.
