“Objective judgement, now, at this very moment. Unselfish action, now, at this very moment. Willing acceptance – now, at this very moment – of all external events. That’s all you need.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditation
We all feel we are in need of help.
We all feel there’s a rescue boat coming for us. Our prince charming desperately waiting for us to show up.
We all feel inadequate, incomplete, tiny, meaningless, clueless, fucked!
We all feel full and also empty, stressed, consumed, pinched, broken, bitten, and betrayed.by.fate.
We feel we’re at an unfortunate place, the wrong time!
Haven’t you?
Something, s.o.m.e—thing is always not in its place. Not the way it is supposed to be. Something is always off!
Isn’t it?
These anchors you experience, these caveats of a modern, … normal human life, these proxy urgencies, distractions, all these shit shows occurring, recurring over and over are simply inevitable.
That, it is the way.
And I’m here to tell you that — that’s just fine!
Only remember: the lights could’ve only found its sweetest place with us because there’s a grave darkness that also lives in and around us.
The fact that there’s good also defaults us that there has to be bad as well. And you’d want to be constantly, consistently choosing the right side.
Remember, sometimes the only best way is — through.
And remember that during all those difficult-of-times, a whisper within you MUST say — this too shall pass!
