Life is perplexing. It’s full of challenges, terrible news cycles, and experiences far beyond our control. Despite the things about Life that suck, there’s soul much more that’s amazing.
One way I’ve been able to get back to the gratitude and finding reasons to be stoked is to just embrace the suck. And it’s hard. It’s hard because:
You could be achieving the highest level in one area while experiencing the lowest in another. Another thing that helps is the realization that it’s actually okay to enjoy parts of your experience, while feeling dissatisfaction with others.
Idk if that’s what balance is as I’m still seeking to create more balance, shoot, just have a better understanding of balance, period. But I do find that the less I resist, the more open I become. And that in and of itself is healthier for my mental and emotional well-being.
Soul my friends, the next time something acute hits or the challenges come at you, remember that there is still beauty in existence. Sometimes you just have to step back to frame the perspective.
With that, don’t just have a good one, have a great one!
