Life can be complex, challenging, painful, and relentless at times. Life can also be miraculous, joyful, beautiful, forgiving, and hopeful. It can also be both at the same time. Life is a roller coaster full of twists, turns, high moments and moments where you feel you are plunging to the ground ... but it's life that is our greatest lesson. Everything that appears in our life, both the wonderful and the painful, are all blessings. Everything that is happening to us and around us is put there to stretch and grow us in ways we couldn't even imagine were possible. The key is that we recognize what the lesson is and learn from it, do things differently, and start being grateful for even those tough times; for it's in those times we learn how to lean in to other people to help get us through or even find a strength within us we didn't know existed.
Blessings are all around. Be open enough to see them, embrace them, and live taking each lesson with you along the way.
