Isn't it ironic that in the moments when we're feeling our most shattered and lost, we start to truly find ourselves. Perhaps this is because it's in these moments, when everything goes awry after we thought we had it all figured out, we begin asking the question, "Where do I go from here?"
Sometimes life will shake us to wake us. "Go THIS way," it seems to be saying (or sometimes SCREAMING), and although we might entertain the idea of playing victim, we are never being chastised. We are being given an opportunity to shift our journey in a direction better suited for our life's purpose. That is what these bewildering moments are all about.
Yes, gazing into the abyss of ourselves can be daunting, yet if we turn toward that fear and keep going, we'll come out the other side wiser, more authentic and with a renewed tenacity to blaze on.
