Often your worst fears don’t materialize. And sometimes you have to be aware you are more vulnerable when you are fatigued and feeling overwhelmed. You have to be kinder to yourself. And realize your feelings at these moments can be a deceiver. There is nothing like a solid night sleep to evaporate your worst fears that can run rampant in these moments.
You just have to be aware when your feelings are a more reliable indicator how you truly are doing. And feelings do come and go and there are many shades of them very seldom do they run to the extremes–from despair to great joy and often you are somewhere in between and that is okay.
The mountain peaks only come once in awhile so enjoy the simple pleasures that come along and treat yourself not too harshly when you err. We all do. And forgive those who do also. You do not expect yourself to be perfect so extend that same privilege to those around you. Your life will run smoother. Be happy with what you’ve got. You only get one time around.
