Being able to sit with discomfort and accept that it is as transient as happiness, is the true path to contentment.

Spend a little time every day exploring that which feels uncomfortable and ill at ease. Here lies the beginning of something wonderful.

Chasing comfort and valuing ease keeps resilience and grit lying dormant.

Placing a stress on our mind or body wakes resilience and builds upon grit through adaptation.

Resilience and grit are woven into the very fabric of our being. They are qualities present in each and everyone of us, not something needing to be gained.
That is very empowering I think.

“ but it’s not that easy….”

No. Why should it be?

Time is not something we have or a countdown to observe, but what is passed through. I find that relaxing.

How adaptation manifests in our daily lives is a reflection of the eyes we use to observe. That’s very empowering.

I find it comforting that all adaptation emerges from a stress placed upon us.

The most beautiful part of the human condition is the endless ability for mind, body and soul to adapt.
