I think that is a good saying to post somewhere you'll see it.
When all else fails...I must not.
What does that mean? To me it means that even when things don't work out...even when you cannot see the next step in front of you...you need to press on. You cannot fail yourself.
Others can let you down. Plans may go astray. Goals may not be reached. But you need to keep moving forward.
Yesterday my message was "You are the person you have been waiting for!" It's true. You are the person who needs to have your back. The person who must put your needs first so you are in a position to help someone else if you are moved to. You cannot depend on someone else to be that person. You need to be responsible for yourself.
If you have followed me you know I recently took a very big risk. Turned my life completely upside down to be with someone and that person disappeared. Simply disappeared without a word. I was left with no answers, no money, no jobs and almost with no place to live. This person, who knew that I had had a rough several years, disappeared without a word. I trusted him to provide what he said he would... time and space for me. A time and space for me to heal what had been hurt and come back even stronger. It was suppose to be my time. Who would not have said yes when he added how much he loved me?
But for some reason totally unknown to me that was not to be. So while that situation and in my mind that person failed me...I cannot. I had to start where I was and rebuild my life. And I am doing that. One day at a time. That is so much better already than a month ago when I was working on "one hour at a time." :)
Here's what I know: I truly believe, with all my heart, there is always a way out of anything. It's just sometimes hard to see. But through it all you need to stick by you. Your dreams. Your goals. Your very being. You need to know you will not leave you. You will NOT fail you. You may be confused. You may be hurt. You may be angry. But you will not leave you as you work through all of it.
I know you have it in you to stand strong for YOU. You, like me, maybe just never realized how important that really is. Trust me...I do now.
