The absolute most mental agony and pain I have ever been through was due to a relationship breakdown.
It’s mind blowing to realise that it was once the thing that produced the most happiness.
Yin and Yang, light to the dark, positive and negative.
As unfortunate as it is, eventually all good things come to an end and whether or not I wanted to accept it concluding , that does not give me the right to be angry at the other person.
What a better way to describe an opportunity for growth.
As Ryan Holiday states using stoic philosophy – The Obstacle is the Way.
Without roadblocks, challenges, issues and problems, nothing would ever feel enticing enough to pursue.
If you think about all your most memorable moments, the majority are on the other side of something you feared or was scared of, or brought upon you a sensation of pain you had never even thought was possible.
They’re the memories that stick.
They’re the moments you cherish forever.
They’re the situations you regurgitate with the utmost clarity to your kids, your family, and your closest friends.
There are scenarios in life when you need to stare at yourself in the mirror and pull your sorry backside off the ground and keep charging.
Oh as painful as it is.
It will ALWAYS be painful.
