“I know that the soul is aided sometimes by the heart’s unrest, and to grow often means to suffer, but whatever is, is best.”
– Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“Most things in life are neither good nor bad, right nor wrong. Most things just are.”
– Dr. Tom Graf
It is really easy, too easy perhaps, to get wrapped around the axle when something goes wrong, or to go off on a tangent when something goes very right. It’s even easier to get all worried about what might happen or what might have happened.
We don’t know. In the long run (what a great song title that would have been….oh, never mind) it will take on a different shade, a different tone, a different meaning – or, maybe it won’t. We don’t know.
Not knowing, for those of us that are human, can create unrest.
If there’s unrest, it’s taking us somewhere. If there’s “rest,” well, that’s taking us somewhere, too. We’re going somewhere. And wherever it is, that’s where we’ll be, then.
Right now, what can we do to maximize right now? And then we can focus on what we’ll do next.
Most things just are. It’s what we do in the moment – without worry and doubt – that makes a difference.
