Fleeing is the last resort when I face difficulty. Running away does little to eliminate the issue but facing it is a testament to my strength.
Even the most trying difficulties are manageable when I face them bravely. The emotional ache that I feel slowly dissipates with time. I work with the belief that clouds eventually pass.
It is important for me to trust my ability to handle anything. I am responsible for my own well-being.
My commitment to myself is that I avoid the temptation of crumbling in fear. Maintaining my quality of life is a priority for me. That means being the best version of myself. My loved ones rely on me to be present for them.
Facing rejection is tough but I put on a brave face. Being able to rise above my emotions in that moment shows my strength.
I know that there is a time and place for everything. In each moment of difficulty, I do what is required to keep myself up. I use my quiet time to process the emotions of a past situation. It is easier to gain healing when I retreat to my quiet place.
With each challenge that I overcome, I become hardier. Fear of disappointment and hurt slowly fades when I consistently put on a brave face.
Today, I run towards my challenges instead of away from them. My bravery makes my experiences instructive for future issues that I face. With each situation, I build my repertoire of techniques to handle things.
