Maybe There’s a Version of Me That Isn’t So Scared.

I have thought about this… more times than I’d like to admit.

I think that maybe there’s a version of me out there that doesn’t have to feel the things I feel, so in a way maybe that makes it fair.

Maybe there is no fear.

Maybe, for that version of me, there is no anger.

Maybe there is no problems.

But then I have to stop myself, that is how I tend to spin it: problems.

These aren’t all problems so much as they are the very things that built me into who I am today.

Fear refined into caution.

Anger refined into passion.

Problems re-engineered into solutions.

There may not be a “reason for everything” but there certainly is a silver lining to most setbacks in life.

Keep your mind, heart, & eyes open so you are ready to see that silver lining the next time you face a setback.
