From Up Here

From Up here, things look easy. They look like we can just jump over the mountains. Heck! These mountains look like play dough! We can just step on them. When we look at our problems from above all is well and will be done just fine.

When we are down “there” in the middle of life, we feel we can’t make it through another day. Close your eyes and see things from the perspective of up here. Remember that your experience is YOURS! How would you write the ending? Would your main character give up? Would he or she just throw their hands up in the air and say “Look, this is too much!” and just walk off the page you are writing? I think not. Instead, they would take a deep breath and say “Okay. What are my options? What am I missing? What is most important to me?” Consider looking at your issues and concerns like this. Look from above. Know that this too shall pass if you only focus on the positive and focus on what is truly important to you. Breathe and move forward. Leave the yucky behind my friend. Look at it from where I am. Above.
