Pain is part of life. Suffering's a choice.
But we suffer when we make up meanings that make it worse than it is to meet our ego. Our egos are fears. To make ourselves feel good. And we get reinforced by others and then pretty soon you are stuck. Stuck in a culture where you're a follower and not a leader.
You were not made to be a follower. It doesn't mean that everyone has to follow you. A leader means you live life on your terms. That you know what really matters most to you and you won't settle for less than who you can be or do or share or give.
And that's the way to live. Where you come to the end of a day or a night and you're bone tired. But victorious. Cuz you've lived fully that day. Not in fear. But in faith. Not in anger and rage. But in wonder and awe. And curiosity.
What can I learn today from this? How can I become better? How can I be more useful?
To myself and others.
And each day that stacks on creates an extraordinary life. An extraordinary life.
