So often we claim the "hard life" like an identity. When something goes wrong, we call everyone close to us to tell them. We walk around each day claiming the hard life by saying it's too hard to go to the gym, it's too hard to get up earlier, it's too hard to go to therapy, it's too hard to do the internal work, it's too hard to keep the promises we make to ourselves. I don't think we even realize how often we keep ourselves stuck in the "hard life" mindset. This is your sign that it's GOOD to feel good. That you can choose joy and choose to look at your life through a different lens at any moment. This is your reminder to look for the small beautiful things that make life worth living.
