Becoming Unbreakable

Let's face it, life can get pretty brutal sometimes. If you're anything like me, you're someone who gives everything you have. You give your all in every job, every relationship, every circumstance and every situation. It doesn't mean you're perfect, and it doesn't mean you don't make mistakes, but what it does mean is that in every aspect of your life, you give with your heart and soul. It's easy to get discouraged when you give everything your all, all the time. No matter how hard you try, the truth is that you just can't control the outcomes that you're hoping for. At the end of the day, you often find yourself wondering if it's worth all the effort you put in. Relationships can end unexpectedly, careers can come crashing down around you, people can often take you for granted and sometimes, you can even find yourself on the losing end of a battle you're not even really sure why you were fighting in the first place. I know what it's like to give everything you have, and at the end of the day you still end up feeling like it wasn't enough. It's not about right or wrong; it's not about winning or losing; it's not even about where you land or how people treated you in the end. It's the feeling of not being recognized or acknowledged for the person you find yourself trying so hard to be. Failure doesn't hurt because you didn't get what you wanted. Failure hurts because it feels like a negative reflection of everything you want to be. When your self worth is tied to your ability to do good in the world, your end goal is to be able to see the results of the effort you put forth. You want to feel like you're making a difference in people's lives. You want to be able to see the benefits of your behaviour and your choices. You want proof that your sacrifices are paying off in terms of results and you want to believe at the end of the day that people will see you for everything you try to do. What's difficult about being someone who invests themselves completely in everything, is that you don't always get to control everything that happens. You don't get to control the results that you get; you don't get to control the way people perceive you; you don't get to control what people do with what you give them and you don't get to control what happens to them when they're finished with you. When life doesn't give you what you hoped for, and your world comes crashing down around you, you have to hold on to the pieces of yourself that matter to you most. You have to hold on to your principles and your values. You have to hold on to your convictions and your sense of self worth. You have to hold on to who you aspire to be and the person you are intent on becoming. And you have to hold on to everything that represents the essence of who you already know you are in your soul. Life can certainly be cruel and unpredictable at times, but you can't ever let it break you. Deep down, you know who you are and what your intentions are, and there will inevitably be times in your life when it feels like that may be all you have left. Nobody ever expects life to always turn out the way that they want. After all, that just isn't the way that life works. For the most part though, life can still be pretty amazing. But every now then, we take a hit that leaves us breathless and feeling broken. The most important thing to remember, is that your mind may be broken but your spirit can never be. Your spirit holds all of your strength and your power, and no amount of pain or sorrow can ever come close to extinguishing it. When you make the decision to never allow anyone else's actions to deter you from who you are; when you choose to remain focused on the things that matter to you most; when you decide to remain committed to doing the best you can for yourself and everyone you know; when you recognize and acknowledge and accept that it isn't your job to carry the burdens or the deeds of other people, then you begin to become unbreakable.
