Never in my wildest dreams as a child would I have imagined the life I have lived. The adventures, experiences, and opportunities, the love I have given and received, and the success I have enjoyed have all far exceeded my expectations. But there are also hopes and dreams that didn’t materialize that I grieve.
Nobody’s life turns out the way they expect it to. We each have to decide how we are going to make the most of our one, brief, unexpected life. The unexpected is either a curse or an opportunity. We get to decide.
When things get tough, remember this may be your life RIGHT NOW, but that doesn’t mean it will be your life forever.
Life is difficult. The mistake we sometimes make with varying degrees of awareness, is that we believe life should be easy, and that we would be happier if it were. We set out to avoid all difficulty, and each time we encounter it, we try to numb it. All our efforts to avoid the difficulties of life lead us away from everything that is deeply satisfying. Would any of the following be possible with an easy life? Meaningful relationships, deeply satisfying work, health, raising children, starting a business, or mastery of a profession or hobby?
The purpose of comfort is healing, rejuvenation, and renewal. It prepares us to face the challenges and opportunities of life again. But comfort is seductive and can easily become a way of life. Once we are addicted to comfort, it shifts from strengthening us to weakening us.
