Standing up again
How do you encourage yourself at your most hard times, to stand up again, shedding the thoughts offailure and loss?
I recite this....
"The credo of triumph
Crops up incessantly
Like a serenade
To invoke our courage
Expressing
How every living breath --
Is a resounding whisper
Of life's continuum,
A thrilling victory
Such are love, light,
And abundance
Voicing a promise
That the darkness
Will melt
That we can wake up,
Part with despair,
And catch
An impending,
Startling sunrise"
- Rabindranath Tagore
I really like that poem. I, myself, have been in emotional places where it is hard to get back up each morning to see the good. Sometimes it takes weeks or months. Or longer, I thought I was going to crack up completely when my kids left home... I saw no point to life at all. All I could think about was mistakes I had made... but eventually it got better with a few setbacks. Hang in there......
Julia, your words are inspirational. I am seeking a way to eliminate emotions from my life, guess that'll help, but can't do it. Anyway, I wish you happiness. Never give up.
