Making Your Own Peace

Fly High.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. No excuse would explain what I’ve been doing the last few months or the reasons I haven’t posted. I just needed time to sort through life in my own mind without sharing it.

Here is what I’ve learned about life lately.

1. There are times when you walk out a door that you don’t understand when you are leaving that that will be the last time you ever close that door behind you. That’s part of life. Unexpected things happen and moving on is better than dwelling on what happened.

2. Inversely, some doors you believed you would never choose to go back through can open unexpectedly. I figured out that I actually had the right to decide whether to enter a door that had opened or just walk on by. It is nice to understand that the choice is optional, not mandatory.

3. There are doors you never knew existed that show up in your life if you allow yourself the ability to accept change.

Some drastic changes have happened in my life in the last 9 months and the huge truth about life is no matter what plans you make for the future, there are things you absolutely can never predict, and these are the things that will make or break you.

I’ve spent a lot of time looking back on how I trusted people who ultimately hurt me and have come to the conclusion that there are and will always be people out there who take advantage of someone’s trust. This does not mean you should change who you are. That would mean the bad guy won.

Choosing to continue to believe in the innate goodness of mankind despite having seen the seamy underbelly of certain people is the best gift you can give yourself.

This does not mean you let the person you don’t trust continue to betray you, it just means that you move past the betrayal and away from the betrayer and continue to believe that the majority of people when given the choice of good or bad will still opt to be good.

That is my peace.
