FACING-UP TO LIFE

     When a life situation gets uncomfortable, my instinct is to bolt. I am an escape artist from way back. And there is a certain relief in running, but it's short-lived, and eventually, I always have to face-up. We all do.
     It's actually easier in the long run to face whatever we have to face, and stay where we are, than to take off. If we run every time life gets hard we will be running forever. But if, on the other hand, we stay and face-up, we will discover our creativity, and resilience, and courage, and grace.

I am willing to hold my ground and face whatever comes.
