I struggled with facing my problems and they quickly began to take over my adult life. I just recently began facing my problems and since I have my life has gotten so much better. I was shame, angry, and hurt but I knew I had to face my problems and forgive in order to heal and live a prosperous life. I was creating storms in my life by being angry due to the fact that I didn't want to and I wasn't ready to face my problems. I began looking in the mirror daily and just staring at myself. It was many things I saw that I didn't like instead of continuing to hate myself, I began to face my problems and change the things I didn't like. I'm in love with the improved me.
If you don't face the problem, you will never live your life to the fullest. You run from your problems a long time and it never gets you anywhere. It will actually have you going in circles throughout life. You often wonder why do you keep going through the same things in life and then you finally realized that you have to FACE IT. You have to face it, because everything you do will harm you because you are carrying those heavy burdens. Counseling is a stigma in the black community so I understand people being hesitant in seeking help. While you are facing your problems don't allow people in your space or to tell you that you should do things a certain way to face it. Guard your spirit and begin your process of healing. Never let anyone tell you how to heal or keep silent. The strongest step to overcoming is forgiving. Your freedom is in forgiveness. Facing your problems will help you begin to heal. As long as you hold that resentment you are held in bondage, you will not be free. Once you allow yourself to face it, forgive yourself in the process. Forgive yourself and stop thinking everything you've gone through is your fault. It's not your fault, but it will continue to keep you bound if you don't face your past and problems. We often are afraid to face things because of the ugliness of them. However, the ugliness will destroy us in the end and we are survivors. Face your issues so you can overcome the things that are keeping you bound. Let go of that fear so you can face the problems. Turn that fear into faith. Two ways that you can start ways: write it down or talk out loud about it. Let the pain out, because not dealing with it only hurts you. If you don't acknowledge it you will always be bitter, angry, and destructive. Stop carrying the burden, face it, and release it. Face it so you can overcome and forgive. Forgiveness will bring you peace. The person you are upset with may never acknowledge that they hurt you. Forgive them even though you may never get that apology. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.
