Adjusting Within

"You don't feel like your best self when you fall apart,

but you have to fall apart to become your best self."

Richie Norton

The winter months are for hibernating, discovering lost parts of ourselves, and imagining new areas of interest.  When spring arrives, our seeds of thought begin to sprout, but they need care to grow strong and healthy.  Summer's sunshine is felt upon our heart and we increase our growth.  By fall, we are benefiting from our focus and the efforts are reaping rewards.  As winter falls once again, we set aside what has been and begin to plan anew.

When one takes this cycle seriously, it can be quite draining as well as exhilarating.  This is the ebb and flow of life.  Beautiful flowers do not blossom without a little manure, and the same is true for our evolving soul.  The goal is not to be happy all of the time, but to have the ability to understand both mistake and fortune.

If we truly believe and focus on the present moment, we know all feelings transition.  Nothing lasts forever unless we choose to linger too long.  We must master flexibility in adjusting within our lives to opportunities as they arise. Again and again, we rearrange to become our best selves.
