Opportunities

purple crocuses with closed bloom Français : D...

The best lessons can be found when we are facing unanticipated change and loss. It is a moment between moments where we are lost and searching, broken and vulnerable, wanting and open. In those moments between moments we learn who we really are and what we are capable of.

When you find yourself in that moment created in the space after a sudden change, try to see the opportunities wrapped within the loss. Growth is so much easier when we are unencumbered by our usual habits and assumptions. Rather than immediately seeking protection from the pain, be with it and be vulnerable. It is in those moments between where our potential resides.

Thank you for sharing!

  1. hiddinsight – In this place I bare my soul. Naked identity hidden in the shadows of anonymity. Deepest thoughts plainly in sight. Discovering my life through the passions of writing, I offer you hidden insight gained from devastating choices, repentance, and learning to walk again. I live so that my children may live. I am here so you can see the imprint of my feet on the path and be encouraged to live with insight into where you are going, and who you really are. HIS. (Hidden In Sight)

    Yes!!!! Exactly what I’ve been trying to say on my blog lately (but I think you just phrased it WAY better).

  2. For once I can say, yes, I have done and am doing just this. It is what is getting me through the sadness and loss and giving me something of happiness and growth.

    I’m trying to see all the muck as a blessing. It seems to be the key to eventual enlightenment–although I prefer to learn through joy . . .
