07 May A happy life is also a life with pain and suffering, stress and struggles
When was the last time you had a full day, every waking minute, of pure bliss? A day of joy and happiness WITHOUT ANY upsets of mistakes, failures or fall downs?
I’m guessing … NEVER!
So I’m also pretty confident that “never” will also be the answer to … when was the last time you’ve had a whole week of perfect happiness, a month of success without imperfection, a year of living absolutely without fault!
Because this is life.
Life is complicated and messy. Life is difficult and so we’re destined to struggle. Which means …
… happiness is not for those who life a perfect life, but for those who live and love a life with all it’s imperfections!
It’s not just about accepting this reality, but about embracing this reality.
It’s not just about accepting that it’s OK not to be OK all the time, but about knowing that we can learn from and grow through those not OK moments.
This is a big theme throughout my new book, “Lost & Found: how to wander your way to a better life” and if you’re interested to learn more, you can PRE-ORDER … HERE (thanks in advance).
