Morning!
So….life.
Yep.
A master black belt it truly is to keep kicking you in the teeth!
Went to the hospital yesterday to see what’s new… and my oh my, my ankle is soooo deformed (how deformed is it Barbara?) that folks might mistake it for a melted batch of puzzle pieces. Wheee!
Upshot is, we’ll …. see. 🙂
But yes indeed, I’m mentally preparing myself for a massive change of life. I’m in constant, daily pain with my ankle; I saw in breathtaking living color (desaturated of course) the fact there is zero (as in nada, as in nothing, as in, well, 0) cartilage in my ankle and yes indeed, it’s bone on bone.
Ah well, things can always be worse!
Which brings me to my point of this post.
When life round-kicks you in the face…you have 2 choices.
Well, actually, you have 3,294,110 choices but 2 is much easier to write about!
You can:
1.) Crumble in a heap.
And I quote:
“Poor me, life is so unfair, I’m going to wallow in self-pity more constricting than warm molasses as it oozes uphill during the earth’s gravitational tilt!”
And actually, I highly DO recommend 1.) for at least 10 minutes. It’s a grand way to honor your emotions and let go of all the negative energies.
2.) Use your situation to springboard to your next evolution.
Honestly, you have to.
You really do.
Because the universe doesn’t give a damn about your situation – you’re merely 1 tiny itsy bitsy cosmic speck of dust in the Gargantuan Dust Bunnies of the universe.
So screw that.
Instead, use your situation as your own personal catalyst to greatness and immortality.
How?
By sharing your struggles of course…and showing others who haven’t yet reached your evolution that contrary to popular belief, it’s NOT the end….it’s merely the beginning of the New You.
Now just exactly *how* I’m going to do this…that’s still on the drawing board!
But make no mistake about it – nothing will EVER get me down long-term….and you’re going to soon see the new and improved Barbara Ling take the world by storm….once again.
You heard it here first. 🙂
Grow strong,
Barbara Ling
