Have your pain-healing efforts been halfway there?
Have your pain-healing efforts been halfway commitments? Because your terrible grief is happening, have your promises to get over your unwanted grief and loss only half-hearted?
“Many important things should not be done by halves. Think about getting married, having children, starting a business, changing careers. There are times to gather courage and take the leap, the complete leap.”
~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The healing of pain is without a doubt an imperative, essential and important consideration! It is vital for you to recognize intermediate actions as mere expressed words that vanish into thin air and are nothing more than expressed wishes. To stop grieving and begin to heal after a terrible grieving experience requires a total commitment of the mind and heart.
“You cannot cross an abyss in two small jumps.”
~ old proverb often attributed to David Lloyd George
Overcoming the abyss of your pain is personal and unique and requires essential action steps. Have you clearly defined the beneficial steps you will take? Half-hearted actions are an unpleasant food source for healing your grief and loss.
Action steps
Perhaps due to his terrible grief and loss, his what-to-do actions have been like a Beebe rattling on the floor of a carriage. It is important that you clearly identify your personal decisive actions to heal from grief. Your pain and loss need your attention now!
“Up to a point a man’s life is shaped by environment, heredity, and moments and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of things he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, ‘This I am today; that I will be tomorrow.’ “~ Louis Love
Early in your grieving experience, you may have been unclear, or even confused, about the actions to take. In the wake of your extreme grief and loss, you may have taken the shotgun approach rather than reflecting and clearly deciding what you want and need to do. Ready, aim, shoot, shoot without an identifiable healing plan, aiming the target is never the best for you. Now is the vital time for you to decide. Because your grief experience is unique to you, it is essential that you decide now on the most beneficial actions you will take.
Commitment action
Over the years, events in my life have underscored a vital clarity. I have learned an essential personal truth: As I have experienced failures and successes, professionally, personally and physically, I have learned that until I commit myself, I am indecisive; There is a possibility that it will regress and be ineffective. However, the moment I make a full commitment, expectations also move. All kinds of things happen; I have received a stream of help and useful events that I could not have imagined. Possibilities and opportunities appear, often unforeseen until I commit to action. Then I experience a new personal and spiritual empowerment to develop new habits that support me in new special desired endeavors. I am empowered to choose to be willing to grow and evolve professionally, personally, spiritually, and physically. This concept of commitment has been tested on me over and over again, and so indelibly etched in my mind, that I believe it is a true principle for individual growth and support.
After your personal commitment, your life will begin to provide beneficial responses to help stop your grief and begin to heal. You will receive knowledge, inspiration and strength far beyond what you imagined.
What is half success?
Half and half actions result in half success. What is half success? The fifty percent condition of eternal life that can be restored more fully is not what you must accept. You can’t always control life experiences that often permanently change what you hope and dream your life will be like. However, permanent peace, happiness and a fuller life can be achieved, even if your integrity is different. Be willing to take action and commit to seeking more happiness and peace. Seek your joy with all your mind and heart. Believe that you can get lasting hope, peace, and fulfillment.
