I love this! I especially love the reminder that everyone will have an opinion but that doesn’t make it “right.” Or that there’s ever going to be one golden answer to a problem, no matter how much we may search for one. All things I needed to hear right now!
Love the metaphors and the ultimate lesson. And I think the advice to just slow down and notice what’s working and what isn’t is so simple and at the same time so so poignant. I know I have a tendency of wanting to rush through the discomfort and get to the other side already by either burning it all down or trying to fix fix fix and often, just letting go a little and taking a breath and step away from it can work wonders
Love all the lessons and tidbits from this journey! Oh so true and only the first hand experience and mindful awareness to it all could elicit these "lessons" shared/learned. Yes, best advice, slow our roll... more times than not I ask myself - "how do I feel about..." and "what is it that you/I really want..." These two questions, as you stated in this segment, allow me to focus in on what really matters for me; while also hearing/considering the input/suggestions/advice from others around me. I love that you landed with the old and the new in a way that "fits" for who you are and your journey ahead!! A great lesson and "share" for us all.
"Be proactive, not reactive." This is something I tell myself EVERY DAY multiple times a day. What a great reminder and a great lesson. Thank you for sharing!
