It’s not about your issues.
It never is.
It’s never about diseases, being broke, arguing, struggling.
It’s never about the stuff.
It ends up coming around to 1 thing.
Who are you becoming because of it.
What habits are you breaking?
What rigidities are being shattered?
What biases and beliefs are being up-ended?
For you to grow and change, CHALLENGE is what stirs things up.
HARDSHIP is the breakdown of what you think was important.
It provides you with the opportunity to reshape how you think.
If everything goes perfectly according to your plan, if everything is ‘hunky-dory’ then you go to sleep.
You stop paying attention. You start doing low-priority stuff.
You either want to go to sleep, or you want to stay alert in your life.
Pick your challenges, choose your battles.
Enjoy them. Value them. They keep you alive.
You are still here, celebrate.
