Daily Gratitude: Sometimes it’s hard to see why we should go on given how things in our lives are. But we shouldn’t give up. I try to remember all the time “this, too, shall pass”. It seems the universe didn’t think I really believed that, though. So this past summer it provided me with three opportunities to experience that it is true. It’s just hard to remember it when we’re right in the middle of something. And of course, that’s exactly when we need to remember it.

The hard time I had during vol state was the first of the triad. And my legs would “empty out” and then refresh and then repeat the cycle. The interesting thing is that I’ve now realized that was a “part” (an IFS type part ) and that’s actually pretty special. But it’s also another topic.

Then I fractured my clavicle and had to adjust to being left handed and that then passed. Only to be followed by a 2 week period of difficulty eating following a procedure.

While in the middle of adversity you can’t seem to think about anything else but “is this ever going to end”. But you have to remember that yes it will pass and once you believe and embrace that, things get better faster than you know. It was your belief that helped it come about.

Beliefs are extremely powerful forces and when we’re conscientious, we can enjoy the belief and the result. We can also enjoy knowing that what will come is what’s supposed to come no matter how it looks.
