Things We Lose, The Miserable

When something huge rocks your world, things get shaken up. When that happens, you can lose your sense of normalcy, your sense of security, your privacy, your career, your innocence, your confidence, your trust in the future, your health insurance, your savings, and/or your identity. You can also lose time while you put the rest of your life on hold in order to deal with this change. With the exception of time and innocence, you can get this all back.

One of the women I know hates the phrase “the new normal”. She claims that nothing is normal for her. She has a lousy attitude often and apparently cannot accept things as they are right now. You don’t have to be like that. You know that life changes, and you can adjust.

Your sense of security is shaken, but you know yourself and your body better, so you can build your security back up. The same for your confidence and your identity. Your privacy was altered for a while, but you can get it back. You can get a new career which has great health insurance. You can build back up your savings.

You don’t have to start over, just start where you are. You can create your Future and make it brighter than ever before.
