Meaning
Welp….it happened I was hoping it wouldn't. I did everything I could to hedge against it but it didn't help. So here I stand at a crossroads. The critical moment where I can choose between two paths.
Misery
Growth
Misery occurs when I argue with reality. When I spend time disagreeing with what “is”. The Free radicals (stress) rush through my body and my health slips.
Growth occurs when I notice reality and thoughtfully consider the meaning I give it. The meaning I attach to my circumstances is up to me.
Am I a slave to my circumstances or is what just happened merely feedback?
Once we apply a meaning it creates an emotion that then creates an action. When you’re feeling miserable, consider the meaning you’re applying to reality.
It turns out the “meaning” is the author of your feelings.
