Reading Vs Writing

I'm going to be honest, because that's what we do here.I'm battling overwhelm right now, so I'm going to keep today's post short on words, but not on motivation.I posted an image on The Strong Inside Out Facebook page yesterday that read: "Your past is just a story, and once you realize this, it has no power over you."I elaborated:"Keep writing your story. Stop re-reading it."It got more shares and likes than most of my other Facebook posts by about 300%, which leads me to believe that you, my friends, resonate quite a bit with this sentiment.

Your past has only as much power as you choose to give it.

Every single day of your life, you have a choice to move forward or to dwell in your story.

When you sink into woe-is-me dwelling territory, remember that is your choice.

When you rise above every horrible card you've ever been dealt, and create your life the way you see it, that is also your choice.

Stop dog-earing your worn-out tragedy, and choose to write yourself into a happier ending. [click to tweet]You can. You will.Just choose it.More words from me next time, I promise. Until then, I'll ask you to do one thing: stay strong.With hope and fire,Amy
