I am Capable

Coming across this line, I'm reminded of my daily affirmation during my seizure years. Looking back, I question how this line was enough to keep me going, even though I knew that having a seizure gave me no control over what would happen. 

‘I am capable’ were the words that helped me to trust in myself without knowing. The rest of the words were my way of choosing to accept what can and cannot be controlled. Every time I said this affirmation, I focused my determination to achieve harmony. The small practice of repeating this affirmation helps me to let go of expectation and surrender to take it as it comes. Trusting that life will take care of me makes me feel like a trusted worker in the bigger picture. This gives me the confidence to know that trying my best is enough, no matter how it turns out. Since repetitive events never proved that I was incapable, I continue to trust this mantra to take me through what I need to do and welcome the circumstances instead of resisting or needing to know. My faith that people become whatever they choose to believe became the root of my resilience and living, for me, is about gathering experience.
