Life is always getting twisted as I get closer to my birthday month. This twist is not necessarily a bad thing as life is always full of surprises. Some of these surprises exceed our expectations and some merely happen to change our system of beliefs, our values, or our direction in life. Regardless, these events are always a reminder that opposite but interconnected events are here for us to realize the values of what we have or we lack in life. Conflict is an inevitable piece of our destiny indicating nothing is permanent. Everything including our own emotions are temporary. Good days and bad days will happen but they will pass. Illness and disease exist so we appreciate our health. Failures are steps to lead us to victory. Challenges are lessons so we learn and improve. Blessings are rewards for our strengths and determination. Overall, life is a purposeful path if we give the meaning to each step. So let’s contemplate and reflect to become a better version of ourselves by being humble, thoughtful, grateful, and staying balanced. Happy Thanksgiving!
a soul journey within
