057: The Struggle Is Part Of The Joy

Today's episode is about the struggle that goes along with the joy of life. It’s ok to be ok and it’s ok to not be ok even if it’s within the same day, week, month… we tend to judge ourselves and think it’s wrong to have tough times while also being a  joyful person. One moment things are great and the next moment the crap hits the fan and it’s awful and that’s just the way it is. Because of this, we grow and get stronger and become better human beings. 

Life is hard. Life is crazy. Life is great. Life is wonderful. It is a paradox of good and bad of hard and easy. I think we all want the “easy life” or we are taught to believe that’s the only thing we should strive for. We are taught we should not have to be burdened with hard or difficult situations, problems, or adversity. We should avoid all pain and suffering and to slam our feelings deep down inside when we aren’t always full of JOY.

I’m calling BS. We get stronger by working through things.. I think the only way we grow is through adversity and hardship and falling down. By talking. By sharing. By crying. By being honest- with ourselves and those around us.
