Ever heard the saying that in life its all about the dash? Well it means that we are given a gaurantee of only two things in life, a birth date and a death date. We know this is eminent. What matters most in life is the dash in between. How do you live that dash. Did you treat people well, were you fair, did you do things your passionate about, did you make a difference?
Well I have a new thought and it related to you and your divorce date. You see your life really does start over after the Divorce date. Think about it. You might be moving into a new home, starting a new job, learning about yourself and working on how to become a better person, parent and mate in the future. I mean you get to start so many things anew and the most inportant aspect of this is your child.
You have the opportunity to change everything you do and how you react to your child. You are given the chance to help replace their feelings of angst and pain form the divorce. Maybe you and your ex fought all the time. Maybe you were moody and quick to react. Maybe your patience went away. Did you child see something diffent in you? Maybe they saw a parent on the edge, a parent unhappy, a parent in a bad mood all the time. Maybe your child got the brunt of you frustrations.
Well now you can replace those feelings or memories with good ones. You have the chance to do things differently now, you have the chance to change the dash for the better. You can do whatever you want with that dash, make sure you make it count. Make sure you make it count. Make sure you work on yourself and find your happiness and peace again, for the sake of your child and for you.
Make the dash afer your divorce the start of something new, the start of a new life and a new you. Make the dash your turning point and remember you dont know how long you have to use this dash, so make sure you make the best use of every second.
This lesson (blog) came about after a service I heard at church, I was reminded in his 'life lesson' about the "dash" concept and how we only get one dash. I started to think about the kids and parents in my divorce recovery group and it made me think, WOW - parents have this greta opportunity to change their dash for the better.
Listen to the lesson, fo more peronal insight about the dash in your life
