The secret to healing your disappointments...

I love people. I am a people person. I love to encourage, inspire & motivate others. I choose to see the good, always trusting there is more, and I seek to draw it out. I am a fairly straight talker (sometimes maybe too much!) And I rarely feel offended… Until I am.

Do you ever feel hurt, let down or disappointed by the people in your life? Well, of course you do, you're human and so are your friends/family!

But how do you respond when you feel hurt or despondent?

A situation arose recently that left me feeling pretty down & disappointed. My initial reaction was to mope around the house for a bit but that felt like a hole I didn’t want to stay in. So, I took myself off for a walk in the sun.

On that walk, I talked to God and asked him to heal the hurt in my heart. I didn’t really have too much to say on the matter but I asked & kept walking, enjoying my music & the fresh air.

Unexpectedly, my mind was an overflow of ideas! All of a sudden, I had 101 reasons to be generous and a blessing to others. I was coming up with gift ideas, treats to bless my clients with, words of encouragement & faces were coming to mind…and then I GOT IT!

I hadn’t realised it at the time, but God was answering my prayer. He was healing the hurt in my heart by asking me to go out and be a blessing.

It sounds completely counter cultural, doesn’t it? But I truly believe that the cure to healing hurt & disappointment is always, others.

If you’re feeling hurt or a little despondent today, I encourage you to look up & out, not inwards at your own circumstances. Who can you be a blessing to today?

I believe that if you allow it, you can find purpose in your pain. Don’t let your pain & disappointments go to waste, you have the power to turn those feelings upside down & inside out today!

So off you go! Here is your encouragement to send an uplifting text to a friend, pay for the coffee of the person standing in line behind you, deliver a home cooked meal to your friend working late. Spread kindness, share the love & be a blessing… even when you don’t feel like it.
