Challenges are like waves, washing up on the shore. They might roll in over your feet, or charge with such a mighty force that you fall. But the waves eventually subside, and they always give you enough time to stand upright, and to continue your journey along the shoreline. Don’t let the ripples of life’s “imperfections” scare you. Life comes with challenge attached to each situation – recognize how normal that is. However, the waves of disturbance are in the outer realm. They don’t have to disturb your inner realm. That’s where you have a choice. Your purpose is to find a way to remain calm when the variables only seem life-threatening. Even in life-threatening situations, there are ways of coming to terms peacefully with what is.
Life as a whole, has been living side-by-side with all of these messy waves and disturbances, since time and space began, billions of years ago. It’s a wonder that lifeforms have just kept going for all of these years. There’s so much that has happened to you, some of them have been close calls, yet you’re still here. You’re among the fittest species on the planet. You’re at the top of the food chain. You’re a highly evolved, intelligent creature. Don’t let a few waves sweep you away or knock you down, keeping you from using your intelligence to solve problems, your creativity to deal with challenge, or your adaptability to accept change. You’re very smart, you’re highly evolved, and you’re remarkably adaptable. Those miraculous mechanisms are built into your DNA. Trust in the biological wonder of who you are – you’ve got this!
