My friends at 10% happier reminded me of the correlation between sticking points in our lives and mud puddles that we often want to avoid.
"In our own lives, it’s always mud season. There are always messy, mucky situations that we must walk through: the difficult conversations that we are avoiding, the medical issues, the problems that we need to address at work. Our tendency may be to postpone and avoid, defer, and deflect, maybe even deny there is a problem at all. But if we try to avoid the situations of our lives, the “wounds” get bigger. Still, we’d rather avoid the mud." -Ten Percent Happier
If we are curious about our sticking points they don't have to become stuck points.
"Curiosity triumphs over aversion. The mud doesn’t have to diminish our sense of wellbeing. All it means is that we might have to change our shoes and wash our feet!"- Ten Percent Happier
Here is to walking through the mud together friends. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the journey.
