Brings a tear. Leaves a very, very precious message.

As a father of three young children, I would never want any family to have to go through what my family and children have since my diagnosis.
I hope I have left a mark on the disease. I hope it shows to live in the moment. I hope you find inspiration from the whole story.

My final message to you is: whatever your personal battle, be brave and face it. Every single day is precious. Don’t waste a moment. In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream.
Rob Burrow, over and out.”

What we resist, persists! 🤯

The more we try to push something away, or ignore it, or pretend it’s not there, the more it is going to continue to show up. And the reason for this, is that whatever we are resisting has something to teach us, to show us, to share with us. And when we aren’t willing to listen to it, it’s going to keep knocking on the door.

Which is why if we simply allow ourselves to accept what is showing up, even when we don’t like it or want it to be there, it creates a shift. We notice that the thing we resisted so hard is maybe not so scary after all, if we just look it straight in its face and allow it to be here. We let it loosen its grip over us, and we take back our power to be ok with whatever is in front of us at any given moment.

This lesson can be as simple as dealing with a delayed flight, to as complex as facing an extreme challenge in life. Either way, once you release the resistance to it, you find acceptance. And even if you still don’t like what is unfolding in front of you, there is an element of peace available in the acceptance.

Is there something you are currently resisting, that keeps showing up in your life? Tell me about it in the comments! Speak it out, and allow it to loosen its grip. 🚀👊

A great reminder. So many of us look to the big stuff, but maybe the little things are the big stuff
