I grew up with a single mother.
My mom was a nurse (something I was proud of).
She was also an alcoholic with a knack for hooking up with the wrong guys (something I wasn’t so proud of).
Sometimes she was home, cooking an amazing gourmet meal.
Sometimes she was out all night drinking.
And sometimes she was home crying her eyes out (to her 12-year old daughter), dishing about all the bad men in her life.
I never knew who I’d wake up to (or even if I’d wake up with her there at all).
To say that uncertainty was the norm is an understatement.
Although I didn’t know it at the time, my childhood made me into the woman I am now. Tough as nails. Resilient. Happy.
But here’s the thing: I had to CHOOSE that.
For years, I struggled. I told myself that I’d been dealt a bad hand, believing that I was predestined for a rough life.
Eventually I wizened up and realized that my experiences taught me to adapt.
That’s when I changed my story from one that was keeping me trapped in a life of worry (even failure) into one of grace, resilience and strength.
Why tell you all this?
Just because the future (heck, even the present) is uncertain doesn’t mean that you have to be. Because you have a choice too. . . - in what you choose to take from your experiences,
- in the story you tell yourself,
- in who you are.
It's time to re-frame your stories, Friend. Start with the one that's repeating inside of your head right now (about what's going on in the world).
