WHAT PART OF YOUR LIFE HAVE YOU STILL NOT FIGURED OUT?

I used to struggle with “What is my purpose? Why am I here?” which created a lot of angst, stress, and feelings of failure and not-enoughness. I was accused of not making the most of my potential. Potential? I suffered from whatever is the opposite of the over-used imposter syndrome. It gnawed at me for years. All of that inner turmoil, only to realize I don’t need the answer. All I need to do is show up fully every day, make choices that align with who I am and who I want to be, and always make the next right decision for myself, my children and my community of friends, neighbours, and social groups.

I have not figured out why people have opinions about things that are not their business - there’s your lane, here’s mine, let’s live our happy lives.
I have not figured out why some people are so cranky and oppositional to everything, all the time.
I have not figured out terrorism, cruelty, starvation, wars, kidnapping, extremism, rape, misogyny, facism, gaslighting, media manipulation … oh so many things I haven’t figured out!

People, the bottom line is that even as a fully participating member, I haven’t figured out the human race.

In the meantime, I’ll be showing up and doing all I can to become the best version of myself, every day.
