It never ceases to amaze me what can happen in your life. In a single day, you can see so many emotions coming from so many different directions. This isn’t because of any one situation or recent action, but while traveling for the last six days I have had an enormous amount of time to reflect on all the life events that can happen – many of which occur in a single day.

Let me unpack just a few of the feelings brought on by some of these life events:

Life events bring enormous joy and appreciation

Life events bring success and a sense of victory

Life events bring anger and frustration

Life events bring fatigue and exhaustion

Life events bring sadness and mental turmoil

Life events bring friendship and respect

Life events bring sorrow and anxiety

Life events bring thrill and jubilation

Life events bring failure and fear

Life events bring peace and freedom

 

These are just some of the feelings that I know I go through on certain days, and I have felt all of them over the course of this week. No, I’m not close to having a breakdown, but quite the opposite. I have a renewed sense of peace and confidence in my life gained by simply watching all these feelings flow in and out of my day.

I just wanted to share these in case anyone else is having some or all of these feelings. My message is it will all be okay. Just keep enjoying life.
