When Not Getting What You Want Turns Out To Be A Good Thing
Updated: 2 days ago
Have you ever had someone come into your life who wasn't able to give you what you wanted or hoped for?
Maybe it was a new friendship or a romantic relationship that didn't turn out the way you imagined.
You were beginning to feel a real connection. You were creating new memories, developing feelings, and maybe even starting to imagine what a future together might look like.
The feelings grew. An emotional attachment formed.
And then, for whatever reason, that person moved on - and it sucked!
What if that person came into your life, anndmwithout either one of you realizing it, helped you become someone that your future self would one day be grateful for?
What if the very person who left you feeling rejected, abandoned, unwanted, or not good enough actually helped you discover something about yourself that you hadn't been able to see before?
Sometimes people pass through our lives to shine a light on those parts of ourselves that we've been unable, unwilling, afraid, or even ashamed to see on our own.
What if that person came into your life and, without either of you realizing it, helped you grow in ways your future self would one day be grateful for?
Not because they intended to, or because their actions were justified, but because you chose to learn, grow, and take something meaningful from the experience.
AND as a consquence of your decisions, you get to be a better version of yourself today.
AND yes, if or when something like this happens again, it still sucks!
