Decide To Rise

Difficulties will come in life, no matter how illuminated we are. Any of us can ease our journey through life by emphasizing the positive. If seekers can reframe supposedly negative experiences, by seeing the silver lining or positive aspects, one can go much higher, farther, and deeper on the journey. We all have a choice when given a challenge. So will you Rise?

May we all become more equanimous, detached, and see our difficulties as challenges.

May we All Rise.

I remember talking to a psychiatrist,

And he had a psychiatric student,

He had a student learning to be a psychiatrist,

And the guy had failed his practicum.

So he'd done all these,

Like how many years,

Right?

Failing your psychiatry practicum.

And the psychiatrist I was talking to said,

It depends how big a man he is,

Whether he'll continue or not.

So he had absolutely no judgment over this guy failing this.

But it was like up to the guy whether he really rose and then maybe became a really unusual psychiatrist.

It's the rising to it,

Even when it feels humiliating and hard on our egos.
