Heal Yourself

I think one of the struggles that I faced in finding my purpose is that it came out of my son's murder, but I am so grateful for that silver lining, for that gift that I found there, and then come to find out that that is where purpose can come from, through pain, finding purpose in pain. Through my research on what happened to my son and how to prevent it proactively, I came across a term called post traumatic growth. This is a scientific term that describes how we are designed as human beings to grow through difficulty, roadblocks, and challenges in our life. That is how we are designed. So now the Choose Love movement is teaching kids, giving them that understanding that yes, you are going to feel pain, but it is there for a reason. It is to help you grow. That takes some of the fear away from the challenge in your life because our natural inclination is to resist and avoid pain. Finding my purpose in life, and that is a tremendous way to heal and to live.
