Another sprout in my mental garden

Life is not about feeling good all the time. There will always be pain in life; that however that does not mean everlasting suffering. Enjoying life is about being fully present whether good times or not so good times lace the day.

That was a very trying concept to embrace! In fact I am practising to remind myself that the experience is not what is good or ugly, it is my interpretation of it that is distorted.

A life comprised of only suffering or mostly suffering is missing out on God’ main purpose- to glorify God; and from my personal experience and I can dare say the life experiences of so many people that enjoying life is more easily done when endurance is joyful, not painful.

Accepting that change is inevitable and growth is good is a message on my mental screen worth replacing the old model called resistance and dread of the unknown!
