As a departure from the norm, this week we have teachable Tuesday! In every moment, there are opportunities to learn. When we step back and put aside our feelings about a certain something, we can better understand what is really going on. The filter of our emotion is removed, and the raw situation is revealed. Like it or not, things are what they are. No sugar coating, no medicine, no nada. It’s called life.
Our emotional state has been a dear friend in our evolution. Negative emotions are just as important to feel, understand and direct as positive ones. They help us understand what we want, and what we need, just as much as what we don’t. We are taught that all things need to be good all the time. This is not the way life is! Life is a series of ups and downs, a ride that we all take. When we buffer the downs, the ups are not quite as meaningful.
I may be the messenger of bad news here, but life isn’t lived well by being happy or even content all the time. Its about learning, growing and experiencing things in their true state so that we can gain the knowledge and wisdom we need to pass on to others so that we, as a society, as a whole, become better. Its not about you or me, its about us. We are in this together, whether we like it or not. Life has a way of balancing itself, regardless of what are opinion is about it.
This is the journey. Today, right now. This is our life. The ups, downs and everything in between. its all equally important, equally relevant. All we have to do is see life for what it really is and do our best to help each other see it too.
To our health,
Coach Michelle
