Train for the Moments that Test You
There comes a moment in life that tests you. A moment where your worst fears come true. A moment when all of your practice, all of your training, slaps you in the face at a moments notice and tests to see if you’re ready.
It’s often a moment we’re not ready for. A moment we weren’t expecting.
And such is life.
Meditation and mindfulness are easy when you’re in the safety of your home meditating to headspace. But none of that matters if you crumble under the pressures of the realities of life. None of that matters if you collapse when suffering comes unexpectedly, and takes a long time to pass.
How do we react when the the true hardships of life come unexpectedly? How do we react to injury, illness, disease, or at the worst, death of a loved one?
These are the moments when all of your practice, all of your training, matter most.
When everything goes to shit, can you remain non-reactive, can you accept the moment as it is, rather than as you want it to be?
