"How we navigate suffering is important. We need right thinking and right seeing so that we can be mindful of all things, good and bad."
These lines are so poignant and necessary Joel. I for one is extremely against toxic positivity where we use pseudo spirituality to bypass the hardships we face. I think what you said is so important because you encouraged us to acknowledge our current circumstances and then be grateful for the beauty in it that we are missing because of our complaining inner monologue. Thank you for writing this. Deeply Grateful.
Give my love and prayers to your wife as she heals from her injury. Merry Christmas to you and family!
Yes, I agree! Being positive all the time is so harmful. We must face reality and do our best to live in it. Darkness does not diminish the beauty of life, though!
Thank you for your kind words, Swarna. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!
It sounds as if you have a beautiful and very generous family. What a gift! And the wonderful part is....you can open that gift up every day and enjoy it, surrounded by those you love. Thank you for sharing your story, Joel. Merry Christmas. 🎄
