My family, my friends, and just about anybody else that will listen to me, has heard me say, “It will all work out in the end.”

That seems like a really easy thing to say, but it’s actually the most important phrase in my life.

Too often people are fighting to find solutions to a problem. Or they’re angry and hurt and upset because everything seems to be going wrong. Or they are heartbroken because of one disaster after another. They feel like they have not had a chance to get a break. Some feel that some higher power is punishing them. Many, including myself, have cried because they know they are basically good people. Why the frig can’t something go right???!!!!

I have learned that first my mind and body have to calm the fuck down. So I breathe and repeat, “It will all work out in the end.”

Think. I have the ability to change some things. I am not in control of anything or anyone but me. Accept the things you cannot change.

Let go of the need for only good outcomes. Learn from working through the bad ones.

You will realize how resilient you are. You will realize how strong you are. You will be amazed at how much time, energy, and sleep you lost being miserable and unable to think.

Learning meditation really taught my mind and body to clear, to relax, to restart my problem solving skills. Instead of going over the worries, reliving the trauma, and spiralling down, I could think. I could plan. I could accept and reject. I was in control again. In control of me.

Be grateful always for Mother Earth, your friends and family. Problems are only situations you have not yet found the solution for.

May I be safe. May I be healthy. May I be happy. May I live with ease.
