imagine experiencing a life with no problems whatsoever.
everything in your life is running smoothly + every wish you ever had is instantly fulfilled.
day in + day out, you sit still because there is no conflict to resolve, no issue to sort out, + no solution to seek.
you no longer have to use your brain because well… why do you need a brain when there is no problem to solve?
so you sit around, doing nothing, thinking about nothing because again — there is nothing to do + nothing to solve.
you are successful, so much so that failure isn’t even something you can recognize… or is it success that you no longer know? 🤔
sorry to break it to you, but a life without problems is not a life at all.
without problems,
there is no creativity,
no conflictresolution,
no sense of satisfaction,
no curiosity,
no problem solving skills,
no softness,
no gentleness,
no ingenuity,
no exploration,
no inventions,
no peace,
no joy,
+
no real appreciation of life.
what is there to learn about life when there is no adversity?
what is everyone doing when there is nothing to do, fam?
today, rise above your problems + witness them from a different perspective.
at eye level, some problems may seem overwhelmingly impossible to navigate; however, from above, all our problems appear much smaller because we can also see that in the grand scheme of things, they are.
in times when life seems overwhelming, disappointing, + a never ending saga of drama —
remember those moments are the razzle dazzle life throws into the mix as a way to offer us a different perspective — one that appreciates the moments of peace, of solace, + of clarity.
all things exist because all things exist.
yes, two things can be true at the same time —
we can strongly dislike the struggle while also appreciating what its teaching us about ourselves, our communities, + the world around us.
such is life.
be you, be dope!
