The Joy of Being Alive

Life. I still pinch myself every morning. Be blessed, whatever that means for you. We are all divinely connected, but we don’t have to always agree. We need to give each other grace, respect, and most importantly, love each other fully with no limits. Everyone, please stop fighting holy wars with people that don’t agree with your particular vision of what the world should become. There’s no systematic process that will ever deliver on narrow worldview promises leaving out everyone else in opposition regarding a particular viewpoint. There is no one way on how to do life.

Breathe. Be calm. Be accepting. Be kindness. Be love. We’ve known this since birth before the world hardened our shell and crafted our masks. Eventually it’s effortless. Go forth and bring your light into the dark corners of our world. We need you now more than ever. Be well.

“The light of joy. Joy is not the absence of struggle. It’s discovering the power that we achieve through struggle…it’s actually power of light, seeing light in everything.” — Rabbi Simon Jacobson
