Have you ever sat down and wondered exactly what a word really means? I firmly believe if we did so we would speak in a different manner than we currently do. I have been using the word struggle, struggling to define what I am currently going through; is it the right word? Am I making a violent effort to get free? Am I really being held in this place? Am I fighting for the result I desire?
The answer is NO to all of the above. In fact, I am doing the exact opposite of struggling; I have been giving in. Giving in to others, giving in on what was suppose to be a compromise, even giving in by taking on 100% of the blame. That is not who I am. I am a fighter; a strong, independent woman that makes every decision for the betterment of her family.
I am not struggling. I am advancing in a manner that supports my future and my childrens future. I am making daily decisions that will create a positive result for my family. I am not giving in or giving up. I am simply picking my battles to show my children how difficult times can make us all stronger human beings. I find struggling to be negative, as if you could lose. I can't lose here - my children are a constant reminder that I have won.
