“May we live our way thoroughly through our breakdowns in life. That is our elemental way, the way life sends us through the obstacles as ways to grow, as ways to evolve, as ways to find our way.”
Yes, as you know, James, when an obstacle comes our way it is the way. We rarely see it that way at first, but the sooner we do , the more content we are, and the faster we grow, and evolve, inside.
Thank you for this Amba. As the parent of a teen the question of when to allow the struggle and when to step in and lend direct support is ever-present. Both are actually required at different times, but I think sometimes I get it backwards, leaving him to struggle when he could use more active support, or stepping in when he could use some space to figure things out. I just hope to get it right on occasion.
Thank you so much, Rick. I know exactly what you mean. I, too, work on that, ongoingly, with my daughter, who is now twenty-seven.
I think this might be an ongoing journey for me throughout my life. We shall see if it becomes more obvious. I love the "I just hope to get it right on occasion."
A beautiful message Amba.

The obstacle is the way, isn’t it?
