Determined

Some may say complicated, but I will go with determined. I have learned that it takes determination and a focused mindset to make it through what life throws your way.

It’s easy to throw up your hands and to give up. It is easier still to dig in your heels and refuse to budge. However, it takes determination to put one foot in front of the other and to move on leaving the past behind you.

Having made it through several bad situations, a bad divorce, two murders (where I lost people very close to me), and loss through death, I have come to understand that you have to be determined to make it. If that part is not there, the rest falls apart.

I learned it the hard way. There were moments when I was weak and putting blame on everything else was easy to do. This got me nowhere. It was only after much soul-searching and putting a plan of action together that I slowly started moving forward. I am still on my journey of discovery, still some ways to go, but each new day brings forth the determination to keep moving and to see what is at the end of this long journey.

It is still hard but when I feel the rays of sunshine touch my face as it is doing now, I know that there is hope and in time all things will be made clear. I HOPE!
