I had a big realization Saturday morning: the point of life is not to make it more comfortable but to become resilient.
We put so much effort into controlling our environment, yet there are things that will always escape our control.
Anyway, life has a funny way of reminding us we were never in charge.
Or haven't you noticed the minute you think everything's perfectly in place, something happens?
And so, the quest to raise protecting walls for our sandcastle delays achieving the only thing that matters.
Interestingly, the resilience I speak of is not one of force but of surrender.
Because true strength is the ability to fold -like the grass does with the wind- instead of being the tree fighting the force that ultimately breaks you.
What if, instead of seeking more control, you simply accepted what happens?
And not just accepted it but did it with GRACE.
How would your life change? What would become available?
