Sometimes we can get so caught up that we are not in that place and space to appreciate... This week has been an active one for me, wrapping up the first section in my role as a facilitator of learning. It has been a rewarding time, and at times an opportunity to learn more about myself and the effects that have produced themselves. With that being said, I welcome it all, holding on to the idea that when you start something new, you discover more about yourself than perhaps you care to believe. It happens at the conscious and unconscious level, and often at times when it is projected your way by the others you are striving to reach and teach, and the organizational demands that can easily promote inconsistency and dysfunction. Yes, this is what I have been exposed to over the last several months, and it's all good. It is good because when you are challenged in ways that are out of your control, these are the opportunities that will and can provide some of the best learning, if you are open to it, and if you stop to appreciate it...
To all those that can hear me, may you find that space and place that will allow you to meet your challenges, stressors, and the often appearing "uncertain" with an open heart, walking tall with your head up. Acknowledge the discomfort and difficulty, but instead of creating more obstacles and barriers, let yourself know that you will get through this, and when you do you will be where you need to be. I am empowered by this place and space that I find myself in, and if I have the ability and opportunity to share this with any and all that can hear me, than I know I am one step closer to passing it on. What you do with it from here is up to YOU, and if you find yourself struggling and you need some support, we are available and present to hear you.
Be well out there everything is going to be OK, it always is, and even when it is not, it is! CAN YOU HEAR ME?

You are so right when you write that "when you are challenged in ways that are out of your control, these are the opportunities that will and can provide some of the best learning, if you are open to it..". This summer, while I was taking an intense summer class at school and encountered other stressors at home and work, I felt so overwhelmed and almost trapped. But somehow with faith, hope, and support, I found the courage to walk through that rough patch and feel stronger and wiser when I was done with that summer class.
ReplyDeleteThank You so much Claudia for sharing your example, one that demonstrates our ability to embrace these moments, learn from them, and ultimately move forward with positive tools to add to our toolbox. May this find you well as you continue to stop to appreciate!
