When life takes a turn

I remember I came across my social media feed that I believe captures what life is about beautifully.

“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.”

 L.R. Knost

Well,

 Life takes a turn. Always.

Things could go wrong, even when you have tried your best. The despair and disappointment many times haunt you from the corner of your life.

A relationship could end.

A business could collapse.

A job could be dreadful.

Life takes a turn. 

When things don’t work as you want it to work. When expectation does not meet reality. It is those awful moments that we don’t feel like to face. And it seems our aversion is what hurts us the most.

But maybe..

Maybe this is the time to trust ourselves and our decisions.

Maybe this is the time to let go.

Maybe this is the time for reflection.

Maybe this is the time to understand ourselves better.

Maybe this is the time to make peace with ourselves.

Maybe this the time to cultivate self-love once again.

But maybe..

there is nothing special about it.

Life is just life as it is. With all the ups and downs, the good and the bad, the normality and the quirks.

When life takes a turn..

We stay.

We accept.

We embrace.

We let go.

We learn.

We grow.

Life happens. 

And it is beautiful, just as it is.
