Blog #732: I Give It 15 Names

Feb 19, 2026Blog Post

Sometimes…
Some days…
Some moments…

Reality stings extra hard.

______

Stings have many names.

Invalidated.

Invisible.

Ridiculed.

Humiliated.

Blamed.

Heartbroken.

Ignored.

Insulted.

Cheated.

Forgotten.

Devalued.

Offended.

Rejected.

Disrespected.

Betrayed.

I have felt Sting use each of these names with me.

______

But…

When Sting makes its shattering appearance into our reality…

It doesn’t have the power to choose how long it will stay.

We choose how long we allow it to stay.

And if we allow it to linger too long…

Its name becomes our name.

And our everyday reality.

EXTRA Thoughts

When I get stung, I have TWO choices:

1. Let the sting hurt longer than it needs to.
2. Pull the stinger and get on with it.

Missed last week’s blog?

I share eight giant clues that something might NOT be working in our lives.

Curious?

Last night, I posted a short video on “X” (Twitter) about “finding harmony.”

“Life turns pretty darn great when we find THAT place.”

Take a look?
