Life is so much a journey from one thing to the next. We have a sense that all will be well and we will be ok, and be able to breathe and relax and have fun and take a break from it all... just once we get past this- one- thing... whatever challenge we are currently dealing with. But if we could only find a house to buy becomes getting approved for the mortgage becomes fixing it up, then moving, then adjusting, then the car breaking down, the new job, the illness, the parental issues, the test results, the weather, the unknown. It never stops. There is always something to challenge us and grow us. We survive one thing and here comes the next. I have wasted so much time wanting to be on the other side of difficult things.
Let's stop projecting beyond the challenge we are facing and find a way to be ok now, no matter what is happening. Let's surrender to the moment and the small joys in front of us, to the unknown, the unseen, and the unexpected. Instead of feeling exasperated and overwhelmed with
now what? let's be ok with whatever. Let's say ok. Let's welcome what comes and be willing to experience it... even if we don't understand why...
.I stop waiting for hardship to end and accept it as part of daily living. I accept the path of life with all that it entails. I am willing to take it in stride.
