The rollercoaster of life is not always easy to navigate.
Life brings with it steep inclines,
Sharp,
Quick declines.
And sometimes unforeseeable,
Unimaginable twists and turns.
Some even leaving you feeling upside down.
Sometimes fast.
Sometimes slow.
Each day,
Truly.
Is a gamble.
Through it all,
My friend.
I ask that you please hold on.
When the world outside feels scary.
Hold on.
When your own mind feels unsettled or out of sorts.
Hold on.
When your heart breaks.
A dream fades.
Or a goal isn't met.
Please hold on.
When things get busy or stressful at work or at home.
Hold on.
Breathe.
When all you want to do is run and hide.
Hold on.
Hold on to the good.
Remembering that life always has an ebb and flow to it.
When we are ebbing,
It can feel like it will last forever.
All we want is out.
When we are flowing,
We want to stay like that forever.
Life doesn't work that way.
Life has its own ebb and its own flow.
In its own time.
Nothing lasts forever.
Including the hard,
Difficult times.
That's why I invite you to please hold on.
Hold on to that smile from a stranger.
The simple good morning from a coworker in the hallway.
The quick glimpse of the sun setting on your drive home.
The sweet sound of crickets at night.
Hold on to whatever you have to,
Until the roller coaster slows.
And life returns to flow.
Breathe.
Meditate.
Journal Take a walk.
Take a bath.
Take a nap.
Lift your face to the sun.
Just hold on.
We are all in this together.
Hold on,
Because you never know who may need you tomorrow.
Much love.
Many blessings.
And peace.
Namaste
