A thought on pain and joy. We often hear people talking about when I hit rock bottom thats when I started to grow or when I was in the pain..., or we hear people asking for help once its in a desperate place. I have been thinking, what about joy?? We actually can learn SO much from being in the JOY of life as well! We have sort of created this idea that in order to grow we have to be in pain. And thats just not true. Brene Brown says that joy is actually the most terrifying emotion, and I believe that so much. How often do we feel afraid to say Im happy or Im really enjoying this life? When we are truly ENJOYING life, we can learn as much as when we are feeling pain. Think of it. When you are doing something that makes you really happy, fulfilling your calling, fueling your passion, etc... take a moment to LEARN from what is bringing you so much joy. Youre IN THE MOMENT! You are PRESENT! You dont want to be anywhere else because you WANT to feel that good! So allow yourself to be in the joy of this life. It is as important to honor the good as it is to feel the pain. And think about it... if you can be aware of joy, maybe you wont have to hit rock bottom to climb all the way out! Happy Living! You ARE enough... in sadness and joy! WE GET BOTH!
