Pain And Suffering

Pain and suffering go together. However they are different things. One is physical and mental. The other is something that can last a long time and usually involves hurt. I’m going to ponder this more and hopefully it can begin a conversation.

Thought Of The Day 04112022

When sharing what one thinks about stuff it’s always a risk. Saying what you need to say is a 50/50 thing, agree or disagree. It’s those moments when there is fear of offending and possibly fracturing a friendship. As a reforming people pleaser, this has been something I have dealt with. Perspective plays a big role in how you see the world and what you think.

No two people think alike and hopefully, they can come to a place where it’s OK to disagree and remain connected. Speaking up about injustice is a good thing but it doesn’t come without a price. It’s my hope that what I say is done with respect for myself as well as others.

Opinions are opinions sometimes they make sense other times it leaves people scratching their heads. I am guilty of this, a lot.

What you say can change the world including your own.

Right Now Is Everything

People find themselves with their heads in the clouds or looking back or looking forward. Perhaps being in the present is the opportunity that’s being missed.

The good old days are not coming back. No one is promised tomorrow. So, all we have is now. There’s good things happening to see just by keeping your eyes open.

Right now is as live as life gets. It’s hard for others to understand that fact considering how tough reality can be and the temptation is to avoid it.

Keep your feet under you and don’t overthink stuff. I’m going to have a hard time with that.

Quote Of The Day

We do not go into the desert to escape people but to learn how to find them; we do not leave them in order to have nothing more to do with them but to find out the way to do them the most good.

Thomas Merton
