Would my 20-year-old self even believe that my being here, right now, was even possible? Would she believe I could be actively engaged in building a business, doing what I love, with people I love? That there was still time to sit quietly and write?
If she were living in the Creator-based® Way, she might…but no, my 20-year-old self, living as a victim of her circumstance, would not! Mired in the everyday demands of small children, saving for a house, and learning, learning, learning every day how to adult, she would never have considered that we would be where we are today, surrounded by women of wisdom and faith, watching the apple tree I always wanted in childhood begin to bear fruit, on acreage that is truly a gift.
She couldn’t even conceive the level of peace and strength that had come from determination and good fortune, but it was there.
We can create these beautiful things in our own lives. It requires focus, faith and forever recalculating in the 50/50 of life. As we stay in the role of an active creator, and choose to opt out of victimhood, we gain strength and perspective. Graced by Grit and Guts, we will create the life we long for.
