The Other Side of Pain

Change and transformation can come from your worst pain.

It was a series of life moments where I was sad, depressed and frustrated in 2012.

The very people who I thought had my back were the first to turn away and leave me dry.

That season gave me a taste of how the world works at times.

Support came in different forms and I am grateful.

The hard part was finding the strength to reach for the lifesavers thrown at me.

One of the lifesavers was personal development.

I indulged in books and information that taught me a new way to look at life instead of finding blame and holding on to resentment.

As my mind opened, I met people who had similar experiences. Their stories inspired me and motivated me.

I knew I was on the right path.

I made the decision to better myself and not go back to that miserable space that only dampened my potentials.

While all this work on myself was happening, blessings and abundance showed up along the way.

I made new friends, met mentors who taught me skills to level up my life, made more money, made more memories and all that filled me in ways that’s hard to describe.

All I know was that I was smiling more, helping others without burning out, and having more energy despite what was on my to do list.

Life has never felt the same once I accepted that there’s so much to see, do, and learn on the other side of pain.
