The Middle

“Not every day will be this good, but they certainly aren’t all that bad either,” Marie.  I was scrolling through IG the other day and this popped out and I thought we could all use a little reminder about perspective.  The world keeps moving no matter what, and it operates on the natural law of what fills must empty and what is empty will fill again.  This doesn’t necessarily mean that we have to have super crappy low days that drag us down to the point we aren’t able to function and it doesn’t mean that every day will be a spectacular high.  What it means is that it’s natural to vacillate between the two.  It’s our job to keep it in perspective that we need both—the good and the bad—to appreciate where we are in life and to understand the lessons meant for us.  It may not always be fun, but it is a universal truth that we all experience.  Sometimes we are pushed when we are near a breakthrough, tested in a way.  We need to keep moving because those hard moments will lead to the lighter ones—and often lead to the light itself.  When we are in dark times it’s easy to equate those moments to a bad life—we see all the negative.  It’s just as intoxicating to see all of the potential and good and act impulsively when we are feeling good.  We need those moments, the good and the bad, to keep us balanced.  Enjoy when things are good and learn when things aren’t so good.  Be grateful for both.
