Make decisions on your own behalf and as if you matter because you do!
My spiritual director/psychotherapist believed it was a moment for celebration when someone appeared at his doorway in their lowest moment.
“When you hit bottom,” he would say, “then you can break open.”
As difficult and harrowing the journey to the bottom can be, hitting an emotional bottom is a moment of celebration.
When a series of unhealthy choices finally shove your ego off the cliff of a fantasy life, then you have a chance to break free and fully assess where you might go next.
And at your most emotionally and mentally battered, you are more open to the belief that choices you can finally make on your own behalf will lead you to a pathway of peace and security.
Once you hit the valley and the shell of a fantasy existence has cracked open, you will be able to soak in the oxygen of a world who wants you as you are.
