In recent years, you may be thinking to yourself that there is so much happening that is ‘interfering’ or getting in the way of you living your life. I’ve felt like this too. There’s a pandemic and it’s inconvenient lockdowns. There’s at least one major war going on somewhere. The economy is shaky and the future is generally uncertain. It all just becomes too much sometimes and you wish things could just stop happening so you can get back to life. But THIS IS LIFE.
Sure, we don’t want a whole bunch of problems and issues happening around us but we don’t control most of that. It would be nice to just have no major news headlines for a while and for the economy to be smoothly moving forward with no bumps or unexpected consequences. It would be Awesome if everyone you knew was in great health and happy all the time. The problem is, that’s not the world we live in. People will get sick and some will pass away before we expect them to leave us. The economy will grow in the long run but will have a series of shocks, corrections, dips, and surges as it always does. Unfortunately, some parts of the world will always have some conflict with the loss of property and lives. This is all part of the human story and will continue to be. I’m not suggesting you resign yourself to the events of the world and just accept things. I’m hoping that you realize that it’s all manageable and something humans are capable of navigating with courage, wisdom, patience and justice. We don’t have to be diminished by events happening around us. We can find silver linings and even learn to grow through the difficult times so that we come out the other side as better human beings prepared for future challenges.
Instead of wishing things were different or some things would just ‘not happen’, try to figure out how you can adjust yourself in the short term and make things work. How can you keep showing up each day to do your best and move things forward instead of being stuck in the middle of a mess? When you figure this out, as I’m sure you will, you will truly be LIVING because you were made for this moment.
