Ever woken up to realise life can be a bit of a bitch? Yep, we’ve all been there. One moment you’re cruising, life is sweet, and then bam! Reality check.

I’ve had a few recently when a shite storm showed up just when things were back on track.

But hey, these tough moments, challenging as they are, are also ripe with opportunities for growth and self-realisation. It always sounds better when you’re telling someone else this, right? But when you’re in the thick of it, not so much.

Just Ride the Rollercoaster of Life, Darling

Yes, let’s acknowledge that life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows (damn you children's fairytales!). It’s uhh more like a rollercoaster with ups, downs, twists, and turns. Buddha, Rumi, and even those stoic philosophers teach us that life’s difficulties aren’t just obstacles; they’re also teachers. Through adversity, we grow.

And it’s these reality check moments that unlock our deepest potential.

The power of perspective

When have you felt most alive and accomplished? Probably not during smooth sailing, but when you conquered something tough, something you initially thought was impossible.
