It’s a journey

~ arthra

I was inspired to start this site to help others like me who have struggled and have gone through or still are going through tough times. I’ve followed several great blogs, writers and podcasters who have managed to succeed after going through their own dark days. Their success is inspiring and does keep me motivated to press on, even when it’s difficult.

However, my story is not one of success per se. You won’t hear stories of how I make a seven figure income working from home, or how I’ve used my passion to create a business where I am throughly enjoying every second of my life. At least not yet.

I guess my message is simply one of trying. Though I haven’t reached my goals (yet) I hope that my journey, failings and small success will be a small light to spark your journey.

I’m working on my mindset every day. I sometimes forget but it’s a process, a journey and I know if I keep it up, stay focused and act, I will soon be sharing my successes and how I’ve been able to achieve it.

But I’m still on my journey. And I’m learning to love it. It really is good to be alive!

You must first be how you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.

Grateful

~ arthra

Through all the lass, suffering and painful mistakes I’ve lived through, I’m grateful that I can still say that, “Life is beautiful”.

When life’s circumstances, good and bad, can not shake my core foundation and I can genuinely say, “Life is beautiful. I am grateful,” there is such calm and peace. A freedom that is hard to describe.

It/s difficult to keep this mindset of mindfulness but it is also truth. I am not my circumstances, I am not my mistakes. I am simply now and I choose to be grateful for this truth.

Simply be

I’m not a writer nor a professional blogger. And to be honest, I don’t really desire to be.

This is just my piece of the world where I can say my thoughts and share what lesson’s I’ve learned through my, above average, mistakes.

I’m not a guru, teacher, or wise one. I’m just a fellow human in this big, and at sometimes small, world on my journey. I’m simply a fellow traveler and I hope we can share a mere moment of this journey together.

The past year has been an incredibly though one for me. I’ve lost my family through an unpleasant divorce. Had troubles and problems professionally at work. And have trudged along the dark valley of depression. Getting lost in my own darkness with no hope of ever seeing the light again.

However, I’ve recently saw a speck and sparkle, though off in the distance. A small flickering of a sprite. I have named it, Hope.

My Hope is yet small, but it seems that observing it has caused my trudging into more of a purposeful gait. Through its light, I’ve seen a bit of the horizon. I was so lost in my own self for so long that I had not realized the valley was not an endless trek but simply a dark hole I was walking around and around in.

I’ve started to climb out and realized I was not here alone. There are others, fellow travelers, that also need to see my hope. By noticing you, I’ve noticed that my Hope has grown just a little more.

I hope we can climb out of this together and reach the end of this valley. The sky has suddenly grown a little less dark, a little less cold. I think we will get through this.
