Sometimes I get this newsflash… as if seeing myself from a far older self. Shaking my head, looking on fondly, saying “Look, honey. Yeah, it is all true, all the stuff you struggle with and grieve about and wish were different and then struggle again to accept. But thing is, you are using up time with your understandable, but actually quite whiney ways.
Here is what I want to you realize.
Wake UP. Deal with it. Everyone has their path, their circumstances, and the consequence of their choices. Yeah. Alright already. Sure, most of us become surprised. Disappointed. Brought up short. YES. Deal with it. It happens.
And you have this choice, see? To either hunker down and say “Ok ok. My deal is living in this place, or this really not ok job, or this health disability or this trauma or this no children or this persistent pain or this no family or this no partner or this no sex or this no one-wants-my-creations or these bills or so so many other things.
Or perennially wake up and go to bed once again being consumed by dissatisfaction, bitterness, or resentment. We all get to choose what to do with what we get handed.
And the answer to each and every one of these pinings or whines or cries, is Yes. It’s true. That’s part of what’s happening.
Now sit up. Dry your eyes. Look around you. Get moving. And decide, with the time you have left here, what you are going to do. That matters. To you.
