Getting through and making the most of it.

How many times have you found yourself in a situation where you tell yourself, "oh, if I can only get through this!" I'm sure it has happened more than once and will probably happen again. So I decided to look at this type of experience in a different way. I wonder what would happen, instead of resisting and trying to "just get through", just stop, and really experience what is going on. Are you feeling this way because it is something you would rather not be doing? Is it a situation of discomfort or stress? As you pinpoint the reason for the feeling, you can contain it to work through it. Everything is temporary, even good things, so no matter what you are experiencing, if you do it moment to moment, it gives you a different perspective on it. You know it cannot control you anymore, when you realize that it will not last forever. You can, then, let go of the imagined binds that it has on you. Enjoy each moment for what it is. You are alive and you are experiencing life. Take a deep breath and make the most of every moment.
