What Doesn’t Kill You Only Makes You Stronger…
(When Your Strength Runs Low)
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger…
Right?
Until suddenly…
You can no longer find strength.
And little by little…
You start to feel weak.
Little by little…
you start to sink.
And before you know it…
You no longer recognize your old self…
Yet, you can’t recognize this new self, either….nor do you want to…
You may feel as if your life has flipped upside down, and maybe it has… Just remember, that isn’t always a bad thing.
What now?
How do you get back to where you started when you accidentally strayed so far?
Just keep going? Keep moving forward?
No.
Sometimes you must take a step back to properly regain your footing.
You now have two choices.
You can allow all of the destruction surrounding you to deplete you,
or you can allow reconstruction to begin that will help further ‘complete’ you.
Allow yourself to start a new chapter.
Allow yourself to continue on your journey.
You’re not dead yet.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
