have so much to say about this; for brevity-sake, ill say that every challenge and pleasure you experience is meant to be observed, sometimes examined, to check-in about how you’re evolving in the process of being your best self.
success is ambiguous and subjective, it’s whatever it means to you, but for me it’s to be fully myself, take care and have a nice time.
when a shit thing happens or i don’t get my way i’ve come to see it as a blessing and purposeful, and i ask myself what i could possibly learn from it. there’s always a thing to learn, even if it’s mere acceptance. it’s saved my mental life, i tell ya that
sometimes you think you’ve ‘passed a test’ but the situation is a ‘pop quiz’ in a different format: how you perform on that assessment is not meant to trick you but to check in on your progress and maybe illuminate areas that still need your attention, something else to learn because the timing and scenario is different.
it’s beautiful.
