If you're listening to this that means you're alive and if you're alive then your life is going very very well

Something that we don't really think about is it, you know, it's like we usually think about the contents of the story or the narrative that we're living in and really it's the concept like what we're imagining will happen. We are hoping and eventually kind of becoming

expectant that what we are imagining could or should happen is going to happen.

And then whenever that inevitably doesn't, or things change that story in our mind,

we then can react to that and feel frustrated and feel like our life isn't going the way that we want or that something is going

and quote wrong. But really if we look at the big picture, that's just a story.

And if we are alive at all, then our life is going well.

Our life is going well because we are alive.

Thinking about that from a different perspective,

like that's something that I find very valuable

and really trying to focus on.

You know, you can never be 100% of course.

It's always just doing your best in the moment to remember, you know,

like whenever you have a challenging moment,

whenever something doesn't go your way,

or if you get angry or frustrated.

Just like the best, as often as you can, just noticing that that's happening and then trying to create some space around that moment so that you don't

react and you don't get consumed by that story. And it can be difficult, you know, really difficult, especially when you're feeling angry or you're feeling

sad or disappointed or something like that, you know. But this friend of mine, Chris, he had this beautiful sentiment that he shared.

And that was actually on his Instagram and shared this, but we talked about it a little bit and he had

this quote that he put out there that was how you love is who you are.

And I just really loved that quote and it made me think you know it really encapsulates a lot of what I talk about and a lot of the work in general.
