We Are All Just Trying to Figure it Out

Life.

It's difficult sometimes.
It's joyous sometimes.
It's good.
It's challenging.
It's rewarding.
It's fun.
It's a surprise.

There is nothing guaranteed in life. All we know is what we are doing and what we hope to do, but anything can change in an instant. Life is a constant journey of trying to figure it out. As a parent it's most noticeable with kids. Any honest parent will tell you they have no idea what they are doing. They may have ideas, understandings, plans, but at the end of it they have no idea. Beyond parenting it exists too. University students who may have a plan, but deep down most, if not all, seem to struggle with the question, 'what am I going to do after university?'

It's universal.

Here's what I am reminding myself of today. I am just trying to figure out life and so is everyone else I meet. No one has it fully together and we are all being challenged by something. Let's join together and try to figure it out with each other instead of apart from each other. In this we can find love, hope, joy, life, and the realization we are not alone.

Admit today you don't really know what you are doing and you are just trying to figure it out. Join me and enter into a space of mystery and surprise.

Life as mystery coming tomorrow.
