Reliving past events however painful can lead a person to become stronger and hopefully wiser. Painful memories can often make you the person you have become…able to place the feelings of others before your own. Expressing emotions are not a sign of weakness. Regardless of happy or painful events, being able to express emotions are a sign of strength and endurance. The more a person discovers about themselves, the more they are able to cope with the difficult times, in which all of us experience at some point in our lives. The journey of life leads us on pathways that at times we do not understand what led us to stumble and fall. We must stand up and keep going, regardless of how many times we fall.
For those who have overcome so many trials and tribulations in which many may think that they cannot possibly overcome, our ability of expression will pull us through. Many of us think that by allowing our emotions to come forward we are displaying weakness. Expressing emotion allows your inner strength to shine through as never before.
Against all odds, many have risen above adversity, with perseverance and a gentle strength that sometimes a person does not realize what they really have accomplished. Past events and being able to express emotion are like built in coping mechanisms.
Rather than becoming bitter and angry for all that a person may have gone through, the past has only proved that you alone have learned from past mistakes and regrets. You have succeeded to strive for Independence and sometimes quietly and with empathy, looked past all the pain to become a strong, yet gentle soul.
Be proud of being able to express your emotions for all of your accomplishments and failures with the knowledge that you can survive whatever happens to come your way. You have succeeded all expectations through the worst and best of times, where many before you have failed. You are a survivor. Your strength is an inspiration for all those who are suffering the events of a lifetime, often times through circumstances that they had no control over.
You have gained patience, honesty, integrity and love which are far more important than all the money in the world. You alone have the character of a rich person, wealthy in spirit that no amount of material objects and money could ever replace.
Never be afraid to express emotions or to give up your hopes and dreams. Be proud of the person you have become today and keep on expressing your emotions as an inspiration to others.
