Healing From Past Trauma and Finding Peace Within
๏ฟผ
I smile all the time, but no one truly knows my struggle. Over the past couple of years, Iโve faced death, grief, illness, and depression. There were moments when I questioned everythingโmy strength, my faith, even my purpose. But through every dark valley, God reminded me that pain doesnโt define me; it refines me. Heโs been teaching me to trust His process, even when I couldnโt trace His hand.

Once upon a time, a farmerโs donkey fell into a deep well. The frightened animal cried out while the farmer pondered what to do. Thinking the donkey was too old to save, he decided to fill the well and move on. With the help of his neighbors, he began shoveling dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey cried in despair. But soon, something miraculous happened, each time dirt fell on its back, it shook it off and stepped up. Little by little, it rose higher until, to everyoneโs surprise, it climbed out of the well, stronger, freer, and unbroken.

Life will sometimes bury you under the weight of grief, heartbreak, and disappointment. But every painful experience can become a steppingstone to peace and purpose.
Healing begins when you decide to rise, shaking off the dirt of your past and stepping into who you were always meant to be.
You were never buriedโyou were being prepared to bloom. ๐ท

1. Have you ever experienced lossโthe kind that leaves an ache no one else can see? How did you learn to live, love, or even breathe again?
2. Have you faced ๐๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ from someone you trusted? What has forgiveness looked like for you?
3. Do you carry ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ from your past that still whisper youโre not enough? What would it take to silence those voices and choose peace?
4. How has your ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก sustained you through your hardest moments?
5. What would happen if you finally accepted that you were meant to be here, even after everything youโve been through?
We all have moments that try to bury us. But healing is possible. Peace is possible.
And your storyโlike mineโis proof that you can rise again. ๐
I would like to invite you to learn how you can share your story in a collaborative moment within our Thought Leader Anthology Program.
