Everyone Goes through Things

This week’s video topic is short and sweet, but important. Especially in this era of social media, where most people are conditioned to share the highlights of their life. We see all the good and little (if any) of the negative, which can cause us to believe other people are not suffering and/or lead more charmed lives than we do.

The thing is, everyone has either suffered, is suffering, or will suffer at some point or another in their life. I’m not saying this to paint a dark picture!

It’s true.

We are ALL here to learn and grow. And no matter how good people make you think their life looks, there is always something they struggle with. Every. Single. Person.

It’s important to realize that people are adept at protecting their private lives. So when we see perfection from the outside, we have to remind ourselves not to get stuck in the “They have it all and I don’t” paradigm.

If those feelings arise, a good practice is to focus on what you do have. On your innate talents and traits and the things you have accomplished. If life has been hard, it’s only made you stronger. More adaptable. You’ve overcome hardships and learned valuable lessons. Sometimes the challenges we face are spiritual tests that enable us to grow in ways we can’t really understand here on the earth plane.

What are your thoughts on this? Have you thought someone had it all and later discovered they were going through challenges you were not aware of? Put it in the comments!

Thanks so much for reaching and watching, and I’ll see you next time.
