A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor

In the last month, I have experienced both the highest highs and lowest lows of my life. In the past times like these would have rendered me numb and unable to function properly and yet life is carrying on and the mindfulness I am able to show every moment, means that I am no longer bounced around, subject to these emotions but recognise what they are with a new kind of acceptance, allowing the joy and sadness to each sit with me for as long as they need, before they move on and I can stay connected to the here and now and be grateful for being able to be me at all times.

This is something I wish I had known in my teen years where everything rocked my boat and I felt swept along by overwhelming emotions, good and bad. Maturity and learning have allowed me to have a different perspective and thankfully I am able to share this with the clients that come through my door.
