Sometimes life demands more from us...
I feel that these days, and achieving harmony becomes harder...
because embracing the "IS" becomes more overwhelming...
and, if not overwhelming, it is less joyful, because part of the "IS" ISN'T what you want it to be...
but, that is disharmony itself.
When I don't want the IS to be the IS... I am "WISHING" it wasn't...
and BAM... I'm in moments of disharmony.
That's the problem with WISHING situations were different... it stops harmony before it even has the possibility of happening.
I think of the people losing their entire lives... fighting for their lives and their homes in Houston... and my IS seems quite simple.
I think of the people struggling with poverty... struggling with the basics of life and my IS seems quite simple.
I think of the many people living without love and support... struggling with depression and loneliness and my IS seems so simple.
My IS seems not just simple, but bountiful.
I am finding my way back to harmony, but it's been a tough few days.
And, the truth is, the "IS" of my life is abundant in so many ways... in all ways...
Just sharing it with you this morning that becomes clearer... I start to feel guilty for not being more grateful through these moments and my life and my moment changes.
An exciting few days await.
I am pushing for my WANT with my colleagues and my team.
I am breathing deep,
trying to help all of us see our IS
and trying to align us on a more cohesive WANT.
Life is indeed full...
full of opportunity,
to keep learning,
and to keep growing...
in every moment.
Sometimes life demands more from us...
but it always really demands the same thing...
EMBRACE THE IS
REACH FOR THE WANT
AVOID THE WISH...
Sometimes, in some moments, it's just harder to achieve...
and in those moments...
Default to gratitude.
in harmony,
Nestor
