“Life is dealing with shit,” I said to a depressed friend. It was probably not the best way to lift him out of his pit. But I’m convinced so many, including me, have slogged through life thinking, “When I get through this problem, when I pay off this debt, or when I get over this health issue, then life will be great,” only to have life hit us with a new issue, a new hurdle. The trick I’ve found is to embrace the chaos, enjoy the process. Because life IS difficult. If we can find peace, hope, and love in the midst of all the things thrown at us, then we will finally begin to enjoy life. And by the way, that person you think has no problems and just sails through life, it’s not true. Don’t believe it. We all struggle, rich, poor, royal, star, construction worker, politician, red, blue, right or left.
There is a power when we embrace the chaos, when we acknowledge the truth of what life really is.
