from the mind of critic: 10/26/18

From the mind of critic:     If we do what we can when there’s nothing we can do, how do we decode and decipher what we can do? Do we push our limits, going as hard as we can until our mind and body breaks down? Do we remain stagnant, thinking analytically and logically of all the possibilities so we can plan out every detail, but fail to act because all the work we’ve put in makes us feel like we already have? Do we find middle ground where we think and act accordingly, because all or nothing extreme thinking is what cause our mind to spin out in the first place? There is a reason acceptance is the final stage of grief, it takes the most inner work. Anger, denial and bargaining are hard to get past, but we must if we hope to move forward. Whether it’s physical or emotional pain we’re enduring, the best thing we can do for our soul is doing what we can. We mustn’t worry about the speed of success of others, for jealousy is the biggest factor in deleting hope from our soul, which makes our pain infinitely worse. Life is forever beautiful, we must simply choose to see it in whatever capacity we can. Feeling gratitude and not just knowing if it, reminds us pain in all forms is only temporary. Peace of mind is achieved, when we utilize honest effort. Doing something is always better than doing nothing, which cements how important self-kindness really is.”
