Yesterday, in a Coping and Healing Group, one of the members shared a new, helpful mantra:
The struggle is over.
People immediately responded to that, discussing how it got them out of a victim- or fear-based perspective. We talked about how “the struggle is over” didn’t discount challenges or past trauma; instead, it refocused on empowerment and strengths rather than on helplessness and negatives.
We also talked about how today’s Daily Bitch Calendar was a funny commentary on “The Struggle is Over.”

Because the YouTube video I shared in yesterday’s blog post is helping me to see that the struggle is over, I am sharing it again.

Thanks to all who help me believe that the struggle is over, including YOU!
