Observations – Everything is going to be all right 

I’m realizing that to be at peace with myself, I can’t fight against my day – my reality. I need to trust that everything is going to be all right and that the challenges put before me are opportunities to learn and grow.

While I agree that “all the world’s a stage”, I no longer think that it (life) can be compared to a boxing ring. I will move, dance and glide like a fighter, but I won’t react to the punches thrown at me by ducking and weaving nor will I throw any punches back. I will just be, accept and learn. In life, I will be a courageous, peaceful warrior.

In the ring, I will be a fierce fighter. I will be in the present and true to the task at hand. I will push myself physically and mentally so that I can beat my opponent. I will attend to my body and mind and I’ll accept my tiredness and perhaps even fear, but I won’t react to either of them.

In both life and the ring, everything is going to be all right as long as I train, settle and calm my body and my mind.

life is good: especially on Chris' Birthday
