It’s crazy when you’ve had time to heal that the same old story doesn’t affect you the same way. Lately I’ve been… There’s a song that I used to hear in church called “Count Your Blessings.” And that’s what I’ve been doing with myself lately.
I used to just look at what I didn’t have, what I couldn’t do, how hard it was for me to do things. I would look at how different I am from other people and how successful they are by comparison to me. I would look at myself through the lens of those who always found a fault with me.
More recently I’ve started noticing what’s good about me, what I do well, how I support those I care about, what I can love about myself.
And that shift supported me today when an old story came up. It was one of those stories that made me feel bad when I would tell it, that will be embarrassing to share, that made me feel less than. But this time as I told the story I didn’t give in to those feelings.
As I retold the story, I began to recognize the true version of what happened. I was able to see all the characters in the story in a new light. I began to see myself in a new way.
I’m so grateful for this experience because I got greater clarity about what really happened in the story, and I came to see my value in a whole new way.
So check out today’s podcast episode where I share a really juicy story that VERY few people know. Press play above.
Blessings!
