Daily Insight: Your Hurt is Your Healing
I know many women are hurting. You may feel like your life doesn’t fit you anymore. You may be frustrated or even sad at where you’ve found yourself. You may be confused and even deflated on how to change your life or why your life may have changed in an unexpected way.
First, I’m here to tell you, you are not alone. I’ve felt all of those things. Frankly, I didn’t change my life on my own, even when it became painfully obvious that I needed to. So life pushed me off the cliff I was unwilling to scale down. I just decided I was going to do something during the free fall. But make no mistake, it still feels like a free fall. It hurts. It all hurts. To add insult to injury, it’s beyond the definition of uncomfortable. Many of you know exactly what I mean.
I just heard this recently on the Jamie Kern Lima Podcast with guest Toure Roberts.
Your hurt is your healing.
The pain will work something amazing in us. But only if we let it. If we let it, it leads to our healing. Miraculously, the healed can then turn around and be the healers to others.
Everyday in what seems to blinding, unmitigated, confusing, and frightening chaos, we get to decide whether all if it will bruise and batter our souls, or will we allow it to lead us to our healing and therefore our breakthrough.
