I don’t have enough superlatives for this article, amazing “woke up at 2am two nights ago exhausted by jet lag and was gripped by an intense feeling of doom and despair at the trajectory my life has taken. For over an hour, my mind was plagued by relentless fears and anxieties, feelings of hopelessness and desolation, an overwhelming sense that I had no clue what I was doing anymore and did not have any idea how to move forward in my life. This continued until I passed out from the fatigue.”
Not just me then! I too have learned to just ride it out like a bad storm, it’s horrendous when it happens and you feel like you’re walking through mental hell but in the morning when I wake up the storm has passed and more clarity is present
"Failure is the seed of success. And success is the seed of failure."
and this beautiful paragraph:
"In that presence, I deeply felt that everything was right as it needed to be. Not because my circumstances were perfect. But because perfection lay not in what happens but in the happening itself. The place from which all rising and falling is seen as an endless ebb and flow of the tides of life. Where all notions of success and failure are merely the crests of troughs of infinite waves on an endless expanse of existence."

Thank you so much for this, Shiv. ♥️

dear shiv,
thank you for this.
i particularly love this:
"Failure is the seed of success. And success is the seed of failure."
and this beautiful paragraph:

thank you for sharing.
much love,

You're welcome, Myq
«But perhaps, you are wrong» I love your touch of «perhappsiness», Shiv.
Beautiful. Thank you so much Shiv ❤️
You're welcome, Angela
Magnificent parable and shared wisdom. Cultivating a sense of wonder, awe, and gratitude is the foundation that one builds their life upon. 🙏
Perhaps joy is a ray of sunlight that rarely breaks through the mostly overcast skies of your life.
Beautiful ❤️
