"By letting go of societal expectations and returning to our natural, unadorned state, we can find peace in simply being, like a crooked tree that thrives in its own unique way"
I loved this article well done Patrick! This qoute is so true! I figured rmthis out later in life but I'm grateful to have a better understanding now!! I love the part where you wncourage us to perceive life the way your wife does!! That was also great!!
I'm sure my wife will love this article lol. She only listens to the audio versions in the podcast and I just posted it a few minutes ago. I kinda warned her this was all about her outlook on puzzles hehe!
Yes, it took me a long time, too long, to really feel comfortable in my body. Perhaps it's something we can't get until we are middle aged and slowing falling apart! :)
When I realized that I had been rejecting myself in favor of an idea of who I thought I should be, everything shifted. Seeing that there was no one else I could possibly be, I settled into who I was. It was coming home. Thank you for this piece 🙏❤️
You're welcome! I, too, had to find myself later in life. Maybe it was just my time to have a midlife awakening. I do feel more grounded now, though, and that's certainly for the best. I have a good foundation of my self worth, skills, and how I can put those to use for others. Thank you so much for reading and for the wonderful comment!
