Strength of Character

A while ago, I shared my thoughts on being brave and essentially having the strength of character to be ourselves at all times. Taking a minute to reflect on my personal growth and how this journey has been so amazing I am just taken aback, I mean I have been through a lot, many moments I thought there is no way such suffering is meant for me but admittedly other times I was overwhelmed by joy and love. I realised that the suffering I endured and will endure is a means to build me. A stepping stool to elevate me to a different level, a tool for those who I find along my way to use. I have been so intentional to use what I learn to care for those who need a little bit of perspective. I’m glad I’m doing this because I do not want to leave people where I find them, I want to lead people out of their brokenness. But for me to do this, meaningfully, I had to realise that I am different and that difference is exactly what’s necessary because I carry a different kind of perspective and touch. Sometimes we can only make effective and positive change within ourselves and others once we have learnt to accept ourselves and embraced the spark that we carry. Everyone I meet is like the stars in that I want you to know. Just because certain people don’t see what you carry does not mean it’s not there. You? are necessary and I can’t wait to see you and all that you will accomplish.
