Love and hope enable you to survive no matter what.
I am a survivor.
After I survived growing up in a very dysfunctional home, I had to survive severe abuse by my now ex-husband that almost cost me my life many times. I have had multiple surgeries for the bones my husband broke (my nose, my chin, and others), but I am here and alive and grateful to be alive. Also, I have survived severe financial hardships.
How did I survive?
My grandmother taught me when I was very young to always have hope and love. She ingrained into my brain and heart and soul that as long as I have these things I will prevail. She was right.
You can survive too!
When you think you cannot go on, think again. If you have love in your heart, think of someone else and find a way to help that person. The love that my Grandmother instilled in me as a child has enabled me to do many kind things for my Mother and find ways to show her love even when she was unkind to me.
Showing others love every chance I get has been a key to my survival. Many days I feel depressed when someone or something reminds me of my ex-husband’s abuse. Then I think of someone who might need some help and find a way to show that person love.
I try to show at least three people a day love in this way. Friends, neighbors, and any acquaintances I happen to encounter–I try to show love to everyone around me. Loving others makes a big difference to others and it improves my outlook on life. It enables me to feel better about who I am and what I believe in spite of my depression and PTSD.
Love keeps you focused on other people, not your own problems and hope keeps you looking for ways to improve your life.

Hope and love can also enable you to survive no matter what trials you are going through.
Never forget that all of the trials you experience in your life are temporary, regardless of how hard they seem when you are going through them or how long they seem to last.
Let the encouraging words in these bobbiejrae posts help you
soar like an eagle above life’s storms.
