Your purpose is in your pain.

In under three months, I lost my unborn child, my partner (at the time) was in prison and I was sitting in my room; my body bruised and my soul shattered – trying to figure out how on earth my life ended up that way…

A little under two years ago, I was beaten at knife-point by a person who, three months earlier, I was planning on starting a family with.

More than a year and a half following the incident, I spent time, effort and energy playing the “blame game” – trying to force someone to understand the pain they placed upon me. They didn’t. They couldn’t.

Because at some point, a long time before I entered their life, they experienced pain that no one cared to understand or cater to. They felt the way I felt, just with a different circumstance and at a different point in time.

I know this message is important to share, because everyone is hurting from something.

Bad things happen. Life is going to be unfair. It’s life.

But regardless of what cards life is dealing you, you need to play them the best you can.

Seek to forgive; seek to understand – not for anyone else, but for you. It’s the only thing that’s going to bring you peace amidst any chaos you feel you don’t deserve.

If you’re brave enough to start unpacking your pain, you may be lucky enough to find your purpose within it.

I spent so long stuck in my pain and feeling sorry for myself – and there was literally no point in doing so. Playing the victim doesn’t change anything.

Use your wisdom and understanding to help make other peoples lives better. God/ Source/ The Universe will bless you for it.
