Growing up, my mom was always the disciplinarian and my father was the meek and gentle parent. He would skirt around issues for fear of hurting your feelings. There was always a special place in his heart that would send him back around to us kids for him to console us. However, knowing my mom’s personality and authoritative parenting style, he would end the conversation with this infamous phrase, “But, you know what your mama will say.” And he was right; we knew exactly what she would say. My mom was as tough as nails and frankly, you would simply have to listen to what she had to say and Get over It! We need those “get over it” moments in our life because they cause us to shake ourselves and realize that it’s time to move on. I have had many moments in my life where I simply had to get over a lot of things. I’m sure as a person; you have had to get over many things too. I am by no means insinuating that it is easy, but I am stating that it is necessary. It’s not easy to forgive someone who hurt you but, it is essential for your wellbeing that you forgive. Sometimes, you have to forgive daily until the words that you speak become the confession of your heart. That’s okay. I tend to think that forgiveness can be a process, depending on the depth of hurt or pain. But, what you cannot do is allow your life to be filled with the sting of unforgiveness. Profess to yourself today, that you chose not to allow a thing of the pass to scar your present and ruin your future. Fill your life with purposeful activities and move on. I hate to be the barer of reality but, it’s time to “Get Over it.” Release yourself from the pain of the past. You cannot live your life in remorse of what you should have, could have, and would have done. The reality is you didn’t but, the truth is you can start today. Tough love hurts but it corrects, heals, and mends. You have a destiny to reach and a purpose to fulfill. Rise and begin anew!
