Perfect Tension

Life. Sometimes it is as unpredictable as a roller coaster, sometimes as slow as a lazy river, and other times, as graceful as a cat falling from a lofty tree branch into a pond.  These are the events that remind you that you are ALIVE.  There are also glimpses of a future dream that are just out of grasp from the reaching hands.  Then the tension of the present moment pulls you from that scope back into reality of the current time.  After all, a heart can’t beat without the proper tension.

To enter the 5 stages of mourning when things are just out of reach, or not going as you wish?   Forget that drama.  A challenge as an invitation to [embrace chaos]

My own understanding of contentment is knowing that everything happens for a reason with a trust that whatever happens is meant to strengthen and teach.  It is not to be confused with being complacent.  Rather, it is more like finding peace and a purpose amidst a constant unpredictable environment.

(it's more hard or closer, not harder)

Don't just sit back in defeat and groan about the things that go wrong, take that as an opportunity to do something about it.  The biggest enemy is yourself.  Don’t let your wailing drown out any constructive problem solving thoughts.

I honestly cannot say that I have a dream that would destroy me if I didn't pursue it, and MAKE it MINE.  I am happy with whatever new callings I have in my life,  and the occasional [Never statement ambush] of humility.

Go ahead and tell me I can’t.  I just see it as an opportunity to prove that I can do it in [self awareness on the clock].  I also have enough just competing against my own impossible perception.

Sometimes you learn more about yourself while persevering through uncomfortable situations in life.  I don’t wish anyone to walk through the situations I’ve been through. Ever.  I have victoriously triumphed over every challenge and every stigma thread attached to that challenge.  I wouldn't be the person I am today if these events had not shaped me.  There is always room for improvement.

even if it's unseen

It’s mental illness awareness month, please be kind to everyone.
