Did You Ever Receive Words of Wisdom?

HELLO everyone, I’m glad to see you here today.  Here’s my thoughts today for your:  “Daily Adversity Support” ………..

 

 

 

After my devastating accident last year left me helpless, unable to care for myself, unable to use my dominant right hand, arm or  dominant right leg, because of multiple fractures, financially drained completely and emotionally a wreck.  I knew I was not the same person anymore and believed I never would be again.

 

 

 

 

I actually felt nothing more than an infant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I was lying in the hospital for 2 weeks with complications and all the activity going on around me, was terrifying.  Being a Registered Nurse from the ER myself, was even more terrifying because I knew too much.

 

 

 

What I found was kind of weird I suppose, but to distract my self from the fear of reality that had happened to me, I literally had conversations to myself, going on in my head.  

 

Now of course they weren’t social conversations, they were more like: okay, you’re going to be alright, you can do this, everything will be back to normal, as soon as I get out of here.

 

 

 

Although I had those internal conversations to reassure myself, things were not getting better.  But I kept saying, when I get home they will be, I was convincing myself that “when I get to somewhere else”, things would be back to normal.   

 

 

Isn’t that what everyone else does, delay the accomplishment until the time is right, or the setting is right, or even when everything is organized? 

 

 

No folks, that’s not how accomplishments work.  They do not just happen, YOU have to make them happen.

 

 

 

You ‘chip away’ at it everyday, to get closer and closer to your goal.  Keep your focus on the end product and don’t lose faith, just keep ‘chipping away’ at it.

 

 

 

 

A truly wonderful friend from New Zealand said today in her video, which I’ll give you excerpts:  “Just show up, put in the work, everyday, don’t give up on those down days”. 

 

 

Of course, she more eloquently stated the golden nuggets, but my point is, what ever you have to do to keep your mind focused and reassuring yourself, do it.   Just show up and do it. 

 

 

 

Maybe it’s a Coach you had back in your younger years, or even now, that constantly kept drilling supportive positive thoughts in your head to the point you could hear them clearly in your mind, over and over…..

 

 

 

 

Oddly enough for me, during my recovery, I suddenly started remembering what my parents use to say to me while I was growing up.  You remember, or maybe for you it was your Grandma / Grandmum, or an Aunt, whoever  it was that had the wisdom for you growing up.

 

 

I started to take those nuggets of wisdom that I remembered growing up that my parents told me.  THAT is how I started to right the ship of my devastating condition that had changed my life in an instant.  See if you remember being told any of these:

 

 

 

You CAN do it.

Your life can be anything you want it to be.

Take things one day at a time.

Manners matter in everything you do.

Always treat others, the way you would want to be treated.

Always play fair and honestly.

Count all your blessings, not your troubles.

Don’t put limitations on yourself.

It’s NEVER too late.

Always put things back where and how your found them.

Decisions are too important to leave to chance, be certain of your decision.

You’re never too old, to do what’s in your heart.

Reach for the stars and grab them, don’t just look at them.

Always clean up after yourself.

Nothing wastes more time and energy, than worrying.

The longer you carry a problem around, the heavier it gets.

Say “I’m sorry” when you’ve hurt someone, and mean it.

Even a little love, goes a long way.

A solid friendship, is always a good investment.

Never take things too seriously.

Always love and believe in yourself, or nobody else will.

It’ always better to give, than to receive.

Don’t start something, you don’t believe in yourself to finish.

 

 

 

By using these little nuggets of wisdom I started getting at a very young age from my parents, I knew with all of these injuries, I had to start using some of these word of wisdom. 

 

 

Why?  When I finally got home and was alone, I knew my recovery was up to me alone.

 

 

The first thing I had to do, was to get my mind and my thoughts straight, get them positive.

 

 

So, what ever you are going through, a loss, illness, injury, separation, divorce, financial loss, whatever, GET YOUR MIND AND YOUR THOUGHTS STRAIGHT. 

 

 

Giving up is very easy to slide into, trust me I know, but it’s also a deadly outcome for yourself.

 

 

 

Find something to give yourself drive, ‘show up everyday no matter what’ and do it. 

 

 

When you feel the worse and the most down, is when you need to show up and do it the most.

 

 

 

Don’t stop pushing yourself forward, believe in yourself, believe in your goal, believe and visualize your goal.  Just show up!

 

 

 

 

 

“I am stronger, because I had to be”………

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See you tomorrow.
