"You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden, but you will grow if you are sick, if you are in pain, if you experience losses, and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
There are a few quotes that have really resonated with me and this is one of them. I have been going in and out of viewing the past ten months this way. Some of the connections that I have had with people over the past week have caused me to really think about this quote more by realizing that my pain can be a really beautiful thing that will cause me to grow into a better and more spiritual person with a deeper view on life and how I should be living it. Even the sad things in life are still really beautiful.
A quote that I kind of have on repeat like a mantra in my head is "Don't worry, everything is going to be amazing." There are definitely a lot of days where I reject this notion but when I have mental clarity, it all just clicks. My goal is to continue working to find more clarity so that I can hold this state of mind. There will always be ups and downs on the roller coaster of grief but I wouldn't say that we are totally out of control of how high and how low we get and for what amount of time we stay in those state of minds. It's all in the way we perceive it.
