Snapshots of my Soul

Looking back to the many life’s lessons I had until I get to the point where I stop running, stop crying and stop lying to myself and start facing the reality of life. It takes me a while to close doors because I believe doors open for a reason, but sometimes we are so bent on keeping that door open, that we fail to see when God closes it and opens another.  I realized that I need to embrace the dawn of a new morning. It's never easy but I reflect, I accept and I learn…and it makes me stronger.

Looking ahead I realized I cannot change the past but I can always shape my future and that’s the beautiful thing about life. God does not promise days without rains and storms and the yes, the unexpected will occur, but I choose to trust in the plan He has for my life and believe that He will never leave me nor forsake me. The world is my playground and the best is yet to come. Tomorrow is not granted, but my attitude can be and that powerful realization…it  makes me stronger.

Looking within, I realized that life can be cruel in its harsh reality. I've learned and continue to learn some hard facts. Situations and circumstances have revealed my strengths and also my weaknesses. At the height of good fortune, a human can be vulnerable to misdirection and mistakes. In the rough times, I've learned more about myself than at any other time in my life. I realized life holds different shades of human nature. When the lightning strikes and the storms come, the rainbow reveals who your true friends really are. Roses have thorns, people change, and most friendships are fleeting.

I have learned to seek happiness alone, have some me time, love myself and through that I can truly love others.
