When we hit a low in our own journeys... fear, anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, frustration, etc. It is easy to keep it bottled up because we don't want others to know there is struggle, or maybe because we do not want to bring anyone down 'energetically' around us. I share this with you, because these feelings are REAL. And can happen to the most POSITIVE of us! If we live as though everything is bright, shiny, dandy, & easy all the time, we do a disservice to others that can learn & relate from our stories that life isn't always that way. In fact, every time I've grown the most, I went through the biggest struggles & obstacles beforehand that gave me the opportunity to rise to the occasion, conquer, overcome and empower myself to get WAY UNCOMFORTABLE to make change. And I have had a MULTITUDE of these.... more than I'd like sometimes. I've screamed out to God saying "I know you work on the ones you love to change & grow... but do you have to love me SO MUCH?? I can't take any more right now... can you PLEASE go love on someone else for awhile & then come back to me?" And, of course, he NEVER does! He doesn't take our problems away but rather gives US the strength to meet the obstacle, overcome, grow from them, and meet the BETTER VERSION OF OURSELF on the other side.
A lesson I was just reminded of right now in my own journey that may help you is that in the process of our struggles, go inward when you need it... that is CRUCIAL. But, do not be afraid to open up to others for support. So often we can keep it inside because we do not want to "Burden" others or bring them down. But a dear friend reminded me that is what Friends are for. They can be your safe place to fall if you let them. You can NEVER bring them down because that's not the job of the friend. A friend doesn't join your misery, a friend listens and picks you up and shares their energy to help you vibrate higher. Not lowering their vibration to meet yours, but helping to build you back up to get your vibration soaring high again back up to where it needs to be.
Be that friend that lifts others higher when they need it. And allow & trust your friends to do the same when you need it. God puts amazing people in our lives so that we can build each other higher... turn to God, your family & friends in your low moments. And remember, where you are today is just TEMPORARY... this is not your permanent journey, but rather a moment in time.
