I got that feeling today of being extremely lucky. All of the things that represent the biggest challenges to me, that I can get really worked up concerning different possible scenarios.
They flipped.
I can't explain it so much as intuit it. Instead of representing challenges to be overcome, they mutated into blessings for me to enjoy in the fullest, and I got a rush of good ole connection with those around me.
Instead of feeling threatened and making complicated excuses for my own emotional responses, I felt thankful.
Instead of trying to protect my ego by denigrating other people, I felt fortunate that I could be exposed to the challenge they represent.
If I couldn't respond to what someone was saying it meant not that they were stupid, but that I had to refine my beliefs.
I know this sounds quaint. Trust me, when reading it I know. I also know this is fundamentally true in a big way, a way that allows me to stand on my own shoulders and embrace that which I am submerged in, instead of trying to run away from it, or be scared.
Overwhelmingness and incomprehensibility are to be cherished sometimes. Now happens to be one of those times.
