Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 281

Title:          No Matter What, You'd Just Be Fine - Believe Me

Sometimes life throws spanners in the works of our life that we are left shattered and without hope of ever recovering; but if only we can take a moment to sit still and analyze the situation calmly and quietly and without rush or haste, then we would come to the full realization that life will always plan for us no matter what we plan for ourselves.

Let me re-share a quick life-changing story with you, and give you something new to consider...

“Today, on my 48th birthday, I re-read the suicide note I wrote on my 27th birthday about two minutes before my girlfriend, Carol, showed up at my apartment and told me, ‘I’m pregnant.’ Her words were honestly the only reason I didn’t follow through with it. Suddenly I felt I had something to live for, and I started making positive changes. It’s been a journey, but Carol is now my wife and we’ve been happily married for 19 years. And my daughter, who is now a 21-year-old university student pursuing a degree in medicine, has two younger brothers. I re-read my suicide note every year on the morning of my birthday as a reminder to be graceful—I am grateful I got a second chance at life.”

That’s the opening paragraph of an email I received recently from an avid listener and follower of my Podcast and a supporter of the Ministry of Encouragement which we run named Kevin and is being shared with his permission.

Kevin's words continue to remind me that sometimes you have to die a little on the inside first in order to be reborn and rise again as a stronger, happier version of yourself.

Circumstances and people will occasionally break you down to the lowest of lows. But if you keep your mind focused on the positive, your heart open to love, and continue to put one foot in front of the other, you can recover the pieces, rebuild, and come back much stronger and happier than you ever would have been otherwise.

I have had my own fair share of adversity too—losing my parents to death, losing my job, financial and business turmoil, etc.—and I’ve written a lot about it over the years.

But today, let me remind you of the clearest sign that you will be just fine, even if you don’t feel fine right now:

Right now everything is changing again, nothing is certain, and you are free.

Everything in life is temporary.

Nothing lasts forever.

Every moment gives us a new beginning and a new ending.

We literally get a second chance every second.

Every time it rains, it stops raining.

Everything that goes up comes down.

After darkness there is always light—we are reminded of this every morning, but somehow we don’t see it.

People all over the world are constantly telling their one heartbreaking story, about how their entire life has turned into an exercise in coping with one particular unfair event from the past.

Every present opportunity they have is then burned at the stake to fuel a fiery obsession with something that can’t be changed.

The key is to realize that YOU don’t have to be one of these people.

You are a product of your past, but you don’t have to be a prisoner of it.

You become a prisoner when you cling to what no longer exists. So remember that if you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.

It may be hard, but you CAN let go… and to a certain degree, you must.

You have to let go and accept the feeling of not knowing exactly where you’re going next, and train yourself to love and appreciate this freedom.

Because it is only when you are suspended in the air, with no destination in sight, that you force your wings to open fully so you can fly. And as you soar around you still may not know where you’re traveling to. But that’s not what’s important. What’s important is the opening of your wings. You may not know where you’re headed, but you know that so long as your wings are spread, the winds will carry you forward.

But, again, as I'm sure you're aware, that's sometimes much easier said than done.

Letting go and responding better in the present takes guidance and practice.

And no, it's not easy. One of the hardest lessons in life involves the ability to change your perspective and let go—whether it’s guilt, anger, love or loss. The change is always tough—you fight to hold on and you fight to let go.

But letting go from the inside out is oftentimes the healthiest path forward. It clears out toxic attachments and clears the air for you to make the most positive use of the present.

You’ve got to emotionally free yourself from some of the ideals that once meant a lot to you, so you can move beyond them and the pain they bring you.

Through this Motivational Platform - Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First, I guide readers through this process of letting go and spreading our wings.

You can take advantage of it if you find yourself in the woods of life
