Smile because what tried to leave you broken actually strengthened you.
I’m not saying it’s easy or trying to pretend it’s always fun. It takes grit to persevere, and being able to smile your way through it—well that’s Grace.
The memories, the sadness, and the life changes that come along with our challenges are a part of us, and there is nothing we can do about that. BUT we CAN, however, decide how we are going to respond to it. We can let go and find joy.
What once had broken me in every way, has proven to be one of my biggest teachers.
It helped me become the woman I am today. I have learned to have more compassion, love, appreciation, and understanding. I have also learned that we don’t have to be strong all the time or brave around every corner. We just have to do our best. We have to keep growing every day.
It’s not what you’ve lost that defines you. It’s what you do with what’s left!
Make today count!
❤️Mantra for today:
I’m stepping forward with grit, anchored in grace.

I ❤️ YOU!
