filling up a chapter, filling up a book. YOUR STORY YOUR CHOICE

I ask a question how can you get past the fear of having everything you know be taken away in an instance?
How do you learn to trust people again?
How can you open your heart when its been shattered into little pieces?


Im trying to find the answers to these questions above.

I think its a matter of just pressing on going forward and not looking backwards.
I have been blessed with knowing some people who have survived despite immense obstacles and situations that are not ideal.

Its taken time but they have been able to sort themselves out. They have been able to move ahead in their journeys and made progress to the reality now where they are working, they are successful members of society.  They have used their situation in life to help others and mentor them to help get their lives on track.

Im in awe of these people for the self sacrificing spirit they have shown.
One of these individuals gives their time willingly to help youth and others in trouble. Not because they have to but because they want to they see a need and they follow it. They have created a trust thats helping to save young peoples lives this person goes with someone else and visits schools in NZ. Taking the time to talk to the youth and share his journey a journey of depression and how he got out of it.

Another individual has fought with schizophrenia in the past but after finding the correct medication is a different person. He has turned his life around and now works in the community as a support
worker and helps mentor individuals.

Week by week I have heard other examples of people who have been through terrible pasts, terrible traumas, depression, and anxiety disorders as well.
These ones have all got through these things and are stronger because of it. They are still continuing to build a better life for themselves, they have not given up. They may of made mistakes, and they may have lost hope at some point, but they are still here for a reason.
Others may have helped them to gain their footing again.

I know other stories of people that have been suffering with tremendous physical pain.


These ones are still keeping on on the journey of life.

Because thats what it is

Its a journey, and only we know when that journey will end if it will end.

We are creating our own book, chapter by chapter filling in with contents.

So I guess you just got to keep moving through the book, chapter by chapter once its done move onto the next chapter and then next after that.

The key is keeping a bit of hope alive that things can get better.

Because if you don't have hope you do not have anything.


HOPE


I have a statement I try and keep in mind.....


HOLD
ON
PAIN
ENDS


Theres always Rain before a Rainbow.................................

If your facing a lot of rain or stormy weather, you know that the rainbow must be round the corner!
