Sorrow becomes an arsenal
It is important to remind yourself of the harships, in your upbringing, your challenges and how you overcame them. It is important to remind yourself, how you saw others and adults at that time cry in loss, cry in grief, cry in pain, cry their last breath and of what’s left of them after they have gone. It is important to remember how strangers then and strangers now helped you move along the way. Its important to remember. It’s important to remember your toughest past.
When remembered of what you have been through and what all you have overcome in the years, the task in front of you today becomes a pebble and well surmountable. And you won’t be lost and caught in the weeds of silliness. But direct, strong and clear headed. For you know your past, you know your being. You are all that has been you now. That is like a million you’s in you right there at that very instant. You are mentally indestructible in the present moment, for you have been in the past, your strength today is the sum of all past; nothing deters you from your will.
Sorrow becomes an arsenal for the focused and strong mind. It inhibits shallow temptations of the flesh and devices the mind to be sharp and on task with valor and dignity. Your strength today is the sum of all past and to be.
