Читать книгу NORMAL Doesn't Live Here Anymore - Barb BSL Owen - Страница 33

How do you control yourself in an uncontrollable situation? Isn’t that a great question? How I wish there were a simple answer, but here is one way to look at it. If the situation with which you are dealing is out of your control, the only thing you can control, is your self. You can dissolve into a million emotional pieces or you can choose to deal with whatever is in front of you.

Falling apart may be exactly what you want to do for lots of justifiable reasons. Maybe you are too young to deal with what’s happening. Maybe you find yourself alone with no support. Maybe the choices that you are facing are life altering, for you or for someone else. Life doesn’t always seem fair and now is a good time for some acceptance.

It’s time to reach deep and find your self. It’s there. Your self is the part of you that you can trust. It’s the part that speaks to you when you desperately need an answer. Now is the time for your self to show up to help you deal—right now!

Decide to fall apart later. There will be plenty of time after the crisis. Make a date with yourself to disintegrate when you can do it in style. You will deserve it!

For now you need to control that which you can—your self.

Not being able to govern events,

I govern myself.

− Michel de Montaigne
