Good morning good people. It’s Friday already, time is certainly not waiting for anyone and as tides of change swirl back and forth, we need to adjust accordingly.
This week the word “RESET” has been resonating in me. A whirlwind of thoughts. Reset means to set again. How do we get to the point of reset. For me honestly we first have to reach the point that we are currently doing is not working therefore a reset is required.
It has been said repeatedly that acknowledgement of stagnation, unproductivity, dullness, and inertia is the first step to reset. By this I mean we have to make a conscious acceptance that change is required. We have to be truthful to ourselves firstly, that the path we on is leading no way. This is a very bold and brave step, a time in our lives when all pretense and the fake falls away at our choice. It is a time of being most real to you as a person.
For us as a couple struggling infertility we had to come to the place of realizing that all our resources were expended. We had to surrender a dream to reality at that time because the pursuit of that dream was yielding no fruit. This is very different from giving up on a achievable dream but rather this is a sobering acknowledgement that a reset is needed.
So we made drastic changes immediately to become more financially, emotionally and mentally secure and to move ourselves into the position to receive what was next for us.
This should not apply to those going through infertility only, a reset may be required in varying situations. It is the point where we hit the brick wall and its either sink or swim. Dropping the mask we hide behind becomes essential. There is ”no fake it till we make it”. Being brutally honest with ourselves is the only time we can be free. “The truth will set you free”.
The pressure society and social media places on us is an unrealistic yard stick. It’s time to snap out of it and “RESET”. Give ourselves a chance to start over. Making wiser choices, doing things better and different this time round. When the opinions of others stop directing our progress we are freed to be the person, we were meant to be. So go ahead, reset.
Love always…
