No matter how old or where you’re in the life’s journey, you have choices to make. And that could be tough at times.
The struggle we face often resides in our choices between two extremes of our emotions. Examples include right and wrong, love and hate, cruelty and compassion. We struggle because life is not black and white. And its significance and meaning come from us sorting through the gray in between.
Would be easy if someone hands you an answer. But that is not how life works. Only you can find what is right for you. And that epitomizes the challenge in finding simplicity on the far side of complexity. In other words, walk through the gray and pick out the right shade for yourself.
It’s no mystery as all of us face the similar predicament. The lucky few break through and grasp its essence. The rest of us struggle along. Either way, the journey is ours to take. Seize the moment to feel deeply. The struggle is worth it. For it’s a process, you will reap what you sow.
What significant choices are you facing? Think of them as learning opportunities.
