life's tests

life's tests

“Life has many ways of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.” -Paulo Coelho

Both tests are very real, feel very different, and can divert you away from continuing to pursue your authentic life. When you’re in the moment…feeling like your Pursuit it “pointless” (h/t Jack Butcher), or feeling overwhelmed when all of the things are happening (this can be a bunch of good or bad, or a mix of both), remember it is just one of life’s tests and that not only will it pass, but that we usually get tested right before we receive something we’ve been pursuing.

Find things to be grateful for. Remember, you control how you receive what happens in life. Your perception will become your reality. Life would be boring without test ??. It’s in the tough times when you grow and learn the most.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC
