Shifting focus from pain to purpose

If you have read some of my posts, you would have noticed that I write sometimes about spirituality. In my faith tradition, we say "with hardship, comes ease". I never really understood that phrase until today. The ease can come in many forms. For example , I found this community because I was looking for help. Additionally, I am grateful for the love I receive from family, friends, and this community. I have a health team in place. This phrase, "with hardship comes ease" is now, with hardship comes new perspectives, new understandings, new inner awareness of who I am in this world. This abundance of blessings I wasn't paying attention to until now. I am not sure where this journey is taking me but I am more opened to it. Maybe that's where a new purpose will emerge.

I listed a few questions that I asked myself. If you are interested, you could substitute the word God to align with your belief system. 💕

Ask yourself during hardship:

"What is God teaching me through this?"

"Where has God made this easier than it could have been?" "What blessing or protection may be hidden in this trial?"

"What have I learned about myself during this?"
