THIS YEAR HAS ALMOST GONE…

Not everyone made it through, and not everyone survived.

Some tables are set with one place missing.

And that hurts like hell.

But life goes on. We all must go on. What choice do we have?

And if we can take anything into the New Year, it should be this…

Life can be hard, it can feel like an uphill struggle sometimes – but if you are facing against the wind, it is even harder than it need be.

So turn your back and let the wind blow you along.

Go with the flow my friend and let life lead you where it wants to.

You see, things are as they should be, even if it doesn’t feel like that right now.

It will all work out in the end and you will look back and see the lessons learned and the strength you gained.

You will be okay.

You will.

Keep hope in your heart and find joy whenever you get the slightest chance.

It is the only way to survive this roller coaster ride.

When it feels like everything is wrong and your world is crashing down around your ears, breathe in, breathe out and do it again.

And again.

And again.

Put your hand on your heart and feel the beating.

That is life. You are alive.

You have a purpose.

To live.

And you will be okay.

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and at last begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.” - Sri Sri Ravishankar.
