🧐 Let's Learn: It Is What It Is

Everybody experiences crummy situations. Flat tires, lost jobs, broken hearts, illnesses, & more are bound to happen to everyone eventually. But that flat tire isn't malicious or purposeful. And sickness isn't evil. So many scenarios that we consider "bad" aren't. They just exist; they are there whether you are present or not.  

It is Epictetus, the Ancient Greek Stoic philosopher, that tells us our opinions, or our mindset is not neutral. Our feelings are what label each situation as good or bad, compassionate or cruel, lucky or unfortunate.

Does that mean a flat tire isn’t aggravating? Will that bring you comfort while battling an illness? Probably not.

The fact is we must adapt ourselves to the situation we are in. As hard as it can be, the most useful tool is to just breathe deep & suck it up, buttercup. Then, keep moving forward.

That’s not always what we want to hear. The fact remains that we can’t always control our situation, but we can control our reaction to it & the mindset we allow ourselves to act with.

In other words, we just have to keep going & take the scenario for what it is. But we get the power to control how we react to what is happening & that can make all the difference in the world.

🧘🏽 DAILY MEDITATION 🧘🏽

Have faith. Sometimes this may be easier said than done, but standing firm in your faith in a Higher Power will open so many doors for you.

What is faith? It’s that undefinable thing that makes one believe in the unknown. The quality that makes one aware of the bigger picture in the universe, is the core component that gives life purpose and meaning, and goodness. Having faith is like one giant trust fall exercise; you cross your arms over your chest & just lean back on the faith that you will be caught.

If you stay ready & willing to have faith in a God of your understanding, then the other pieces of the puzzle will ultimately fall into place. Remember, it may not make the image you expect, after all the picture is bigger than you & you are part of a much larger design.
