It seems as though life goes in cycles - smooth sailing and constant chaos. While the easy-going pace of the 'up cycle' can be calm and pleasant, chaotic uncertainties can encourage us and push us to new levels. We never seem to be prepared for these abrupt changes in our lifecycle but it also never seems as though the abrupt good changes affect us like the gut punches do.
One minute we are cruising through, the next a shocking phone call stops our breath. Or an accident or illness. Mother Nature erases your plans for the day. An abrupt change of work status - whether good or bad - is announced.
No matter what, these times not only define our current path but help to define ourselves. They give us those moments to reflect and decide whether or not we like the person we are currently and if there are changes that should and could be made towards betterment.
So, as my life goes bumping along as though I'm cruising down a dirt hill in a cardboard box, I try to remember that these moments help to shape me further, making me stronger and wiser.
