Dear Steve,
Sometimes we go through experiences that we never would have imagined in our wildest dreams and I guess it’s because those experiences will only help us grow stronger. I know it’s a very difficult place to be in and I am very sorry that you are going through all this. Firstly, you should let go of all your anger, hate, resentment towards your ex because its pure negativity and it will not help you move further in life. I know its not easy but you should try. Let go of all your anger and negative emotions. Just close your eyes and talk it all out. Next, be grateful that by going away she has given you an opportunity to find true love. May be you are destined to be with a wonderful woman who loves you truly. Take baby steps everyday. Everyday is a new beginning. The sun rises every morning without fail just to remind people who have lost hopes that it’s a second chance to start over again. Everytime your ex crosses your mind, thank her for giving you an opportunity to find true love. Your ex might have friends and people flocking around her but the question is does she have a clear conscience? Absolutely not.
Make sure you don’t neglect your children. You don’t want all this to affect them and their future in anyway. There’s lot of peace in solitude so don’t worry about being lonely. Find the friend within you. Make a list of ten things everyday that you are grateful for. It can be your children, their smile, your life. Hope the best for you and your children. Each and every moment is a beginning. Every moment you think of the past, you are wasting a moment to create a beautiful future. You have all the power within you to create the destiny you want and you can do it by being positive and hopeful and stay strong. God will bless good people with nothing but the best and I am sure your blessing is on the way. Till then don’t give up on hopes and faith. No matter who is there with you or not, trust that god will always be on your side. Be the best you can be and the best will come looking for you and your children. Lastly, I am going to leave my favorite poem from Paul “Bear” Bryant:
This is the beginning of a new day
God has given me this day to use as I will
I can waste it or use it for good
What I do today is very important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it
When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever
Leaving something in its place I have traded for it
I want it to be gain, not loss – good, not evil
Success, not failure, in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.
I hope this will help you every morning to give nothing but the best. I wish that your life will be all that you expected and more :). May god bless you and your children.
