I was listening to the Rocky IV soundtrack this morning as I worked out.
I realized, sometimes, you choose your challenges.
Sometimes, you don’t.
So, the question isn’t will you be challenged, but how will you meet your challenges when they come?
We might want to go all Rocky and fight, and sometimes, that’s the perfect response.
Being strong and fierce.
But other times the best way to meet the challenge is to sit.
Breathe.
Stay.
Feel.
Let there be motion in the emotions.
Breathe.
Stay.
Hold onto your center.
Because you are human, you will face challenges.
And challenges will change you.
Decide how.
Thank you for the jujitsu reminder
