It is inspiring to witness people thriving and flourishing despite facing challenges in life. These challenges may emanate from the home front, work, relationships, financial situations and other fronts.
Everyone encounters situations that could cause dejection, worry, fear. Yet, there are others who can move forward with so much grace after having been immersed in heartbreaking events.
Of course, I am not spared. I too had to face difficult moments, thankfully, I have gone out of that cave, courageously facing the world and live again. I’m talking about the passing of my so loved daughter.
She was 23. Unexpected. Heart-piercing. Spirit-crushing. I mourned. I grieved.
That was two years ago. Now, I am able to move forward and live in my usual bubble of joy. I always look at life in a joyful way.
How do I do it? You might ask.
I’m narrating here what I do to keep flourishing while living my temporary life in this chaotic world. Everyday, I live this awareness that my life here is temporary. Living in sadness is not how life should be lived.
These guide my attitude and my mindset.
Firstly, I tell myself, I can’t have it all, so better be a good sport.
Secondly, give kindness but don’t expect to receive the same. Sometimes, people don’t see things the way I do so I let them be.
Thirdly, I focus on the face of God and always ask him to reign in my life, constantly praying for clarity and wisdom. Life is better lived this way.
Fourthly, I believe I can’t always get what I want, but I know God is always providing what I need. So I keep my peace in the knowledge that I am well taken care of.
I acknowledge I am a sinner and I constantly repent. His mercies are new every morning. Knowing this, my days are always began right, praying the right prayers. Joy seeps into me all throughout the day. I feel flourishing.
These mindsets work for me. Recognizing my weakness and knowing I have strength through God, I rest in the assurance that all is well. This is the fifth. I carry around this glow on my being assured that I am loved by a merciful God. I am in his plan on his palm.
Joyously yours,
Joji
