Let's not sugar coat the shit

October 19, 2016

I pride myself on finding silver linings everywhere but...

Let's not sugar coat the shit.

I am all for positivity that is grounded and real.
Fake positivity is not an enlightened way to be.
It is like sticking your head in the sand.
Pretending everything is ok is not healthy.
Instead aim to look on the bright side.
Notice the blessings in every situation.
Without loosing your ability to clearly see the truth.
Be present to reality.
And remember everything is transient.
Relax and go with the flow.
After all everything is exactly as it should be...

Perfectly imperfect.
