Life is profound.

Life is profound; so many of its facets are beyond our individual and collective control. It can be exhilarating. It can be devastating. It can be anywhere in between. On the days when life, living, and all that encompass human experiences are exceptionally heavy, find some positive thing and embrace the joy in it. Linger there. Rest in that moment. Rehab the spirit of your resilience. Life is profound; so many of its facets are beyond our individual and collective control. It can be peaceful. It can be chaotic. It can be anywhere in between. How can the human heart and mind prepare for life's variables? How can we survive its ebbs and flows? We ACCEPT that life is profound and so many of its facets are beyond our individual and collective control. Then we set out to positively IMPACT all that is in our ability to change for the better.
